LaGG-3 was one of the main Soviet fighters in the early years of World War II, widely used on the Eastern Front. With the Montex K48166 masks, it is possible to recreate both the cockpit and identification markings faithful to authentic paint schemes of machines that fought over Stalingrad or Leningrad.

Mini Mask is a set designed for those who want perfect masking of the canopy. Maxi Mask offers a wide range of canopy masks and stencils for reproducing insignias—roundels, red stars, fuselage numbers, or chevrons, accurately replicating the markings of historic aircraft. Super Mask meets the needs of deep authenticity enthusiasts: stencils are developed based on photos of original machines, and the set is complemented by colorful drawings showing the placement of markings.

• Canopy masks made of black, matte film that contrasts excellently with the glass, making precise application easier.
• Well-adhering but non-damaging adhesive prevents deformation, even on hard-to-reach, curved surfaces.
• Innovative interior mask strips for the cockpit frame provide perfect finishing details.
• Marking stencils made from flexible, easy-to-position film—ideal for precise painting of stars, digits, and insignia on the LaGG-3 model.

The product is recommended for both intermediate and experienced modelers who wish to replicate details at the highest level. It allows for quick and clean masking, saves time, and enhances the professionalism of the finish. Difficulty level: 2/5. The Montex K48166 set is an indispensable tool for Soviet fighter enthusiasts and 1/48 scale model lovers who value the reproduction of historical detail.
