Montex 1:48 P-40F is a set of pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the AMT plastic kit, not a model. It makes it possible to spray the frames of the canopy from the outside and from the inside with a sharp edge.
Responsibility details are not available.
Pre-cut self-adhesive painting masks for a model of the fighter Curtiss P-40F in 1:48 scale. The package contains no plastic parts - it is an accessory to a kit you have already bought, which takes care of painting the transparent parts. The templates are cut for the glazing of the AMT kit.
The P-40F belongs to the family of American single-seat Curtiss fighters. It differs from the other renderings in its power unit: instead of an Allison engine it was given a license-built Packard with an engine derived from the Rolls-Royce Merlin, which showed on the outside in the deletion of the characteristic intake above the engine cowling. The aircraft found a use above all in the Mediterranean and North African area, where its durable structure and its usability from field airfields were valued. The cabin consisted of a framed windshield and a sliding canopy.
On aircraft of this period the frames of the cabin are painted differently on the inside than on the outside, and it is exactly that which tells a well built model. Proceed therefore in two steps: once the masks are stuck on, spray the interior shade first, let it dry and only then apply the external camouflage color. If you glue the canopy on only after the spraying, you can paint the inner side before assembly. Use very thin paint and low pressure - a thick coat builds up under the edge of the mask and a visible ridge is left once it is removed. Degrease the glazing before sticking the masks on and let it dry naturally.
The set is an accessory to a plastic kit, which it does not contain. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
