Painting masks from this series provide unrivaled precision when reproducing cockpit glazing details and combat aircraft markings. Their carefully selected adhesive ensures perfect fit even on strongly curved surfaces, prevents paint bleeding, and does not cause peeling of paint from delicate areas of the model.

Maxi Mask and Super Mask stencils make it possible to paint richly detailed national insignia, tactical numbers, roundels, letters, stars, and chevrons – in accordance both with kit decals and original historical patterns, verified against photographic documentation. The moderate-adhesion film allows for repeated repositioning and easy adjustment even in hard-to-reach places.
