Product features:

• Scale: 1/48
• Dedicated for aircraft: Curtiss P-40E Warhawk
• Category: canopy painting masks and marking stencils, modelling accessory
• Material: high-quality matte black film and semi-transparent flexible film with gentle, non-invasive adhesive
• Compatibility: matches the model specified on the packaging (model manufacturers’ catalog numbers)

Description and technological advantages:

The canopy masks are made from matte film, which contrasts perfectly with the cockpit glass, making precise positioning easier. Their strong yet gentle adhesive prevents deformation on curved surfaces, and the design eliminates the need for liquid masks such as Maskol. A unique feature is the possibility to paint canopy frames from the inside, ensuring full authenticity of the details.
The included stencils, laser-cut from flexible film, allow for the recreation of national, tactical, and functional markings in the style of decals and based on historical photographs (in the Super Mask variant). The material does not damage paint layers and adheres perfectly to curved surfaces.

• Country of use: United States and Allied countries
• Period of use: World War II (years 1941–1945)
• The P-40E Warhawk participated in combat on all war fronts, including the Pacific, North African, and European campaigns
