The Artwox Model 1:700 wooden deck for the German armored ship Admiral Graf Spee in her 1937 form is a self-adhesive veneer with the printed pattern of the planks. An accessory to the Trumpeter 05773 ship kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A pre-cut natural veneer with a self-adhesive back and with the printed laying of the deck planks, intended to be stuck onto the plastic deck of a ship model in 1:700 scale. It replaces the molded relief with real wood with its own grain and natural unevenness of shade. The set is an aftermarket accessory: it holds neither a kit nor glue nor paints.
The Admiral Graf Spee was a German armored ship of the Deutschland class, completed in the mid-1930s. In design she was a compromise between a cruiser and a battleship: a relatively small displacement, main armament of 283 mm guns in two triple turrets and diesel propulsion that gave the ship a long range. The year in the name refers to the prewar configuration, which differed from her later state. The career of the ship ended in December 1939 off Montevideo, where her own crew scuttled her after an action with a British force.
It is good to settle the color of the wood before you glue the set on. Natural veneer tends to be fairly light and on a small model can read like a bare plywood board. So take an offcut from the edge of the sheet, brush it over with thinned stain or oil paint in a gray-brown tone and compare it with the surrounding areas. Apply the stain thinly and let it dry properly, as too wet a coat will buckle the veneer. If you are working on a part already glued on, protect the edges so that the medium does not run under the veneer and soak the adhesive. Fix the finished area with a matte varnish at the end.
This is an accessory to the Trumpeter 05773 plastic kit, not a model. The kit, glue, paints and photo-etched parts are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
