About product

Wooden deck for HMS Nelson 1944 in 1:700 scale

This add-on set from the manufacturer Flyhawk holds wooden decks for a model of the British battleship HMS Nelson in her state of 1944, in 1:700 scale. The parts of thin veneer are precisely cut including the openings for the superstructures, the barbettes and the deck equipment and are laid straight onto the plastic deck parts of the kit. Real wood with a fine grain gives a model a depth that painting individual planks can hardly imitate in this scale. The set is made to measure for one particular kit — you will find its designation directly in the name of the product.

The real subject

HMS Nelson had an unmistakable silhouette among battleships: all nine 406 mm guns were carried in three turrets placed ahead of the superstructure. This unusual arrangement was a consequence of the interwar treaty limits on displacement. In 1944, which the set matches, the ship took part in supporting the Normandy landings, where she shelled coastal targets with her main-caliber fire. Broad wooden decks were among the typical features of British heavy ships.

Tips for working it

  • Before gluing, try the parts dry and compare them with the openings in the plastic.
  • A darker coat on the plastic deck under the veneer will bring out the gaps between the parts.
  • For fixing, use a thin layer of PVA glue or carefully applied super glue.
  • Clear coat the veneer at the end with a fine matte or satin varnish.

Who the set is for

For ship modelers in 1:700 scale who are building HMS Nelson in her wartime form and want to give the decks an authentic wooden look without the drawn-out painting of planks.

This is an add-on to a kit, not a standalone model. With kits other than the one stated the parts may not line up.

FAQ

The deck is cut to measure for one particular kit — its maker and designation are found directly in the name of the product. With other kits it may not line up.

She carried all three main-caliber 406 mm turrets ahead of the superstructure — an unusual arrangement due to the interwar treaty limits. In 1944 she supported the Normandy landings.

Lay it on the plastic deck part, fix it if necessary with a thin layer of glue, and protect it at the end with a fine matte varnish. It does not need painting.
