A wooden deck 1:700 USS Lexington CV-2 (05/1942) is a veneer accessory with the laying of the planks printed on it and with a self-adhesive base, intended for a plastic kit of an American aircraft carrier. It will replace the painting of the flight deck with the faithful structure of wood. Intended for the Trumpeter 05716 kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
An accessory for modelers who are building an American aircraft carrier in 1:700 scale and want real wood instead of painted plastic. The package holds a veneer cutout with the laying of the planks printed on it and with a self-adhesive base. This is not a kit but an aftermarket modification that is glued onto the plastic deck of the basic model. On aircraft carriers it is the most prominent visible area of the whole model, so the difference tells at first sight. The set is intended for the Trumpeter 05716 kit.
The USS Lexington was an American aircraft carrier of the Lexington class, which came about by the conversion of a partly built hull of a battlecruiser. She was among the largest carriers of her time and carried an extensive flight deck laid with wood, usual on American carriers of that generation. The designation 05/1942 in the name refers to the configuration of the ship from May 1942, when above all the anti-aircraft armament and the markings of the deck changed.
The flight deck is large and uniform, so the greatest risk is bubbles and shifting. So lay the veneer on dry first, with the film not taken off, and mark its position against the bow. Then pull the backing film off gradually a few centimeters at a time and press the veneer down from the longitudinal axis toward the edges with a soft cloth or the edge of a ruler. Trim the edges at the elevators and the superstructures with a new sharp blade only after gluing. If you are planning deck markings, apply them only onto an evened out and varnished surface.
This is an accessory to a ship kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
