The Art Scale 1:72 Bf 109E single-sided masking set serves for spraying the cockpit framing and other small areas cleanly. It is an accessory for a kit in 1:72 scale, not an airplane model.

The Bf 109E masking set from Art Scale is a modeling accessory for a kit. It covers the clear parts while spraying, so that the framing of the cockpit canopy comes out straight and with a sharp paint transition. The designation one-sided in the name means a single-sided set intended for the outer side of the glazing.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E series, nicknamed Emil, was a single-seat fighter with an inverted V12 Daimler-Benz DB 601 engine with direct fuel injection. It is told apart from the later versions by its squared-off wingtips, the angular framing of the cockpit canopy and the radiator under the fuselage. The E series was built in several subversions that differed in armament and equipment, and it is one of the most frequently modeled types of all. The framing of the canopy on this type is dense and clearly visible, so the overall impression of a finished model rests on the quality of the masking.
Wash and degrease the clear part so that the mask holds well. Lift the individual parts off the carrier film with tweezers, lay them on the frame and press them down with a soft tool so that the edges seat. On curved sections a small fan-shaped nick or careful trimming with a sharp scalpel right on the part helps, with minimal pressure. Spray in thin coats: the interior shade of the cockpit first, then the base coat and finally the top color. A heavy coat builds a ridge under the edge of the mask that stays visible once it is lifted. Take the mask off as soon as the paint is dry to the touch; with slow-drying enamels, wait longer.
It is an accessory for a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
