About product

The Montex masking set for the Curtiss P-40F Warhawk in 1:32 scale

According to the name, these are masks for the cockpit canopy. The templates are cut to the shape of the individual frames, so all you do is transfer them to the clear part and press them down. The set holds no model — it is an accessory for a kit you already own. In the larger 1:32 scale the framing of the canopy is pronounced, and an inaccurate paint edge catches the eye at first glance.

The real subject

The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engine fighter with a liquid-cooled engine. The P-40F version differs from the others in its powerplant: instead of the Allison it received a license-built Rolls-Royce Merlin, so it lacks the characteristic carburetor intake on top of the cowling. Machines of this version were used above all in the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Painting tips

Mask only after the interior is finished and the canopy is seated. Apply the paint from the bottom upwards: the light lower shade first, then the upper camouflage colors, so that the transitions overlap in the right direction. Let the paint set between coats, or it will flake when a mask is removed. Deal with panel lines and the wash only after the masks are off, so that the dark solution does not get under the edges onto the clear part.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American fighters in 1:32 scale
  • modelers who want sharp frames with no touching up by brush
  • those painting a multi-color camouflage scheme
  • building with an airbrush

The package holds masking templates only. The model, paints and glue are not included.

FAQ

It has a license-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which is why it lacks the carburetor intake on top of the cowling.

No. It is a set of masks for the glazing; the model is bought separately.

From the bottom upwards, that is the light lower shade first and then the upper colors, so that the transitions overlap in the right direction.

Only after the masks are off, so that the dark solution does not get under an edge onto the clear part.
