Montex SM72153 P-40B/C TRUMPETER in 1:72 scale is a specialist painting mask set dedicated to Curtiss P-40B/C fighter models by Trumpeter. The product is designed for modelers aiming for the highest realism and precision when finishing their plastic aircraft models. The set allows for easy and accurate reproduction of cockpit markings and other essential aircraft features, ensuring a professional final effect.

Montex masks are made from high-quality modeling film, resistant to modeling paints and precisely cut using plotter technology. As a result, they adhere perfectly to the model's surface, minimizing the risk of paint seepage and encouraging the use of different painting techniques, such as an airbrush or brushes.

The model for which this mask set is dedicated – the Curtiss P-40B/C – was an American fighter aircraft widely used during World War II. These planes served mainly in the USAAF, as well as in the air forces of the United Kingdom, China, and the Soviet Union. P-40B/C aircraft participated in operations both in the Pacific and North Africa. The "Flying Tigers" groups were especially known for their "shark mouth" paint scheme, which can be achieved using Montex masks.
