Wooden deck 1:700 for the battlecruiser Kongo as of 1914 is a self-adhesive veneer with pre-printed plank laying, cut to shape including the openings around the superstructures and deck hatches.
Responsibility details are not available.
An accessory for a kit, not a model. A thin wooden veneer with pre-printed plank laying and an adhesive layer on the back is laid on the plastic deck of the model. The set is made for one particular kit, Kajika KM70001, and for one particular state of the ship: the year 1914 in the name points to the early appearance of the hull, which differs fundamentally from the later rebuilds in the layout of the superstructures and in the shape of the decks. Check before buying, therefore, that your kit matches.
This is exactly where a good wooden deck shows its worth, not on a flat area but in how cleanly it goes around whatever rises out of the deck. The openings for gun turret bases, hatchways, winches and mast feet are cut in the set beforehand, yet it pays to go through them one by one before gluing. Lay the veneer on dry and look at it against the light: wherever the veneer does not meet the outline of the plastic part, trimming it is easy now, while you can still handle it freely. The most common small mismatch arises at circular bases, where the plastic part tends to come out of the mold slightly larger in diameter than the opening.
Always trim with a fresh blade; a dull one does not cut veneer along the grain but crushes it and raises splinters. Cut on a soft surface, ideally a cutting mat, and guide the blade in several light strokes instead of one heavy one. At circular openings it is safer to take material off in small bites and keep testing than to try to hit the diameter first time. The cut edge then only needs to be eased with a sanding sponge.
This is an accessory, not a model. The ship kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
