About product

Montex 1:32 masks for the Typhoon Mk.Ib with car doors

An add-on set of self-adhesive masks in 1:32 scale. It holds no plastic parts and nothing a model could be built from; it serves to mask the glazing and the frames on a model you are building from the Revell kit. The set is cut exactly to that kit's clear parts.

The real subject

The Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib was a British single-seat aircraft powered by the Napier Sabre engine and armed with 20 mm cannons. Early production machines had a cockpit with a densely framed canopy, entered through a hinged side door resembling that of a car, which is where the designation used by modelers comes from. Later machines received a frameless teardrop canopy and a sliding mechanism. The framed variant is markedly more laborious to mask, because the frames are numerous and narrow.

Tips for working with broken-up glazing

Sets for heavily framed cockpits tend to be split into a great many small pieces. It pays to lift them off the sheet one by one rather than all at once, and to check on the model where each belongs before laying it down. A fresh blade and pointed tweezers make the work easier. The recommended order: the masks for the inside first and the spray in the interior shade, then close the cockpit and go on to the masks for the outer frames. Spray the camouflage only once that has dried, otherwise the paint will mark when the door is handled.

Who the set is for

  • builders of British ground-attack aircraft in a large scale
  • modelers put off by masking a densely framed cockpit by hand
  • those who want frames of even width along their whole length
  • anyone wanting a quicker path between gluing and spraying

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Early Typhoons were entered through hinged side doors and had a densely framed canopy. Later machines received a frameless teardrop cockpit.

It is not. This is a set of masks only. The kit and the paints have to be bought as well.

Lift them off the sheet one at a time, work with tweezers and keep checking where each piece belongs. That will keep a frame from ending up slightly out of place.

Yes, working with masks is simpler than cutting tape by hand. All it takes is patience, good light and tweezers.
