Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a ship kit but an aftermarket accessory for one. The package holds a veneer cut-out of the deck with pre-printed plank laying and a self-adhesive backing, which goes straight onto the plastic deck of the model. The shape of the cut-out is made for the one kit the set is meant for. The veneer is cut for the Flyhawk FH1301S kit.
A plastic deck has the planks suggested only by engraved grooves. Once paint and varnish go on, the grooves largely fill in and the area starts to look like one flat surface. Veneer brings real wood grain and printed seams that stay readable even after matting down. The sheet is thin enough not to raise the superstructures or change the height of the sides.
SMS Lützow was a German battlecruiser of the Derfflinger class, commissioned early in 1916. She fought at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916, where she took heavy hits in the forward part of the hull, and the next day she was scuttled by her own torpedo boats because she could no longer steam. Her 1916 appearance is therefore the only combat season the ship had.
Sand the plastic first with very fine paper and degrease it, or the adhesive layer will not take hold reliably. Peel the backing film off in sections rather than all at once, and lay the veneer from the middle out to the edges so that no air pockets form underneath. Press down with a soft cloth or with a finger through paper, never with a hard tool. It is worth going over the finished deck with matte varnish, otherwise the veneer readily takes up moisture and in time starts to lift.
The set is an accessory, not a model. The ship kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
