1:72 US Original Tarpaulin for WWII Trailer is a printed paper sheet from the firm ETA diorama for making the tarpaulin of a US trailer from the Second World War in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit and not a decal – the sheet is cut out, formed and glued onto a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
In 1:72 scale the tarpaulin on a trailer is a part that practically cannot be made convincingly from plastic – a plastic wall is several times too thick against real canvas when scaled down. Thin printed paper is far closer to tarpaulin cloth. It can be bent over an edge, allowed to sag between the bows and waved along the ropes, and the finished printing already carries the color and the tone of the canvas, so there is no need to mix a shade and spray a small part.
It produces a tarpaulin for a US trailer from the period of the Second World War in 1:72 scale, that is an accessory to a model, not the model itself. It comes into its own in small dioramas and display case scenes, where a trailer parked by a tractor or by a depot completes a column. Because every superfluous millimeter shows in 1:72, it pays to undercut the tarpaulin and fine-tune it rather than to cut it with a large allowance.
Take the dimensions straight off the model, best with a strip of paper laid in place. Cut with a new scalpel edge – in a small scale a frayed edge is noticeable at once. Dampen the paper only lightly before forming, so that it does not soften too much. It helps to reinforce the back with aluminum foil; the tarpaulin then holds the sag by itself. It is glued with PVA or matte glue in small sections; super glue soaks through paper. Keep the patina fine – at this scale a hint of dust with dry pastel, a very thinned wash into the folds and matte clear coat, which unifies the sheet with the rest of the model and at the same time strengthens it against rubbing, are enough.
It is a printed paper accessory, not a kit and not a decal. A model of the trailer, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
