Responsibility details are not available.
An aftermarket accessory for modelers, not a kit. A veneer sheet with a printed plank pattern and a self-adhesive back goes onto the plastic deck of a model of the British battleship in 1:700 scale and takes over from it as the visible surface. The set is meant for the Trumpeter 05794 kit.
Even with an accurately cut deck you cannot do without a modeling knife. The blade has to be fresh: a dull edge does not cut veneer but tears the fibers and the edge frays. Always cut on a hard surface, drawing in one direction, and rather twice with lighter pressure than once with force. Trimming is needed above all where the deck meets the side, at the feet of the superstructures and around openings. Keep the offcuts; small gaps can be filled with them later without anyone noticing.
HMS Queen Elizabeth was the lead ship of the British battleship class of the same name. In the second half of the 1930s she went through a fundamental reconstruction that left her with new superstructures and reworked armament. In December 1941 she was badly damaged at Alexandria by Italian frogmen, and a long repair followed. The year 1941 therefore catches the ship in her rebuilt, fully wartime form.
Try a cut on the waste edge of the sheet first, to learn how the material behaves. When you are done, fix the deck with matte varnish, which also strengthens the cut edges.
The package holds the wooden deck only. The model, glue and paints are not supplied.
