Responsibility details are not available.
An adhesive wooden deck in 1:700 scale intended for a model of the Japanese battleship Haruna. According to the name of the item, a name plate for the ship is part of the package as well. It is a detailing accessory for a plastic kit, not the model itself: you will not find the basic kit, paints or glue in the package.
The decks of large surface ships were in reality planked and a plastic molding only suggests this structure by engraving. A veneer deck brings the real grain of wood and a natural tone that is only awkward to imitate with an airbrush. With this type of accessory the parts tend to be cut to the shape of the deck including the openings for the superstructures, the turrets and the deck fittings, so they are laid onto the finished plastic base.
Haruna belonged to the fast battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She came into being as a battlecruiser of the Kongo class and in the interwar period she went through an extensive rebuilding, after which she served as a fast battleship with a main armament of 356 mm caliber and with an anti-aircraft defense that was gradually strengthened.
Before gluing, degrease the plastic deck and sand out both the unevenness and the traces of the mold parting line; the veneer is thin and every bump will show through it. Dry fit the part first and only then peel the backing film off and lay it down gradually from one side, so that no air is trapped. Press the edges down with a blunt tool, not with a fingernail. Once glued, the surface can be unified with matte varnish and accentuated gently with a heavily thinned wash.
Before buying, check that the shape of the part corresponds to your kit; wooden decks are cut for a particular model. This is not a ship model but an accessory. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
