Montex SM72148 Tu-16 TRUMPETER - Painting Masks for 1:72 Model

Montex SM72148 Tu-16 TRUMPETER is a high-quality set of painting masks dedicated to the plastic model of the Tu-16 bomber in 1:72 scale from Trumpeter. The product belongs to the category of model accessories—painting masks, which allow you to achieve precise and aesthetic finishing of canopies, cockpits, and other details during model assembly.

Purpose and Application

The Montex SM72148 set has been designed specifically for the Tu-16 (NATO: Badger) model—a famous Soviet strategic bomber that entered service in the mid-1950s with the USSR army and was also used by the air forces of, among others, China and Egypt. The Tu-16 took part in operations during the Cold War and was in active duty until the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming an icon of Soviet military aviation and one of the most important bombers of its era.

Product Features

• The mask set is made of high-quality, self-adhesive model film that adheres perfectly to the plastic surfaces of the model parts.
• The masks have been precisely cut using plotter technology, which allows for quick and easy application to the glazing and other demanding elements of the Tu-16 model.
• The product includes masks for both the outer and—depending on the design—inner sides of cockpit windows, ensuring a professional result after painting.
• It does not negatively affect delicate model surfaces and leaves no residue after removal, which is extremely important for every modeller.
• Montex masks guarantee a high level of repeatability and accuracy in recreating even the most complex shapes of the Tu-16's glazing.
