Airbrush Wooden Deck Mask for 1/700 IJN YAMATO Battleship (For Tamiya 31113)

Js Work Wooden Deck Mask 1:700 IJN Yamato (1:700 scale)

This is a self-adhesive masking film (a mask) for the airbrush, intended for painting the wooden deck of the Japanese battleship Yamato in 1:700 scale. It is not a kit and not a decal, but a precisely cut template that you stick onto the deck of the model and spray paint over, so that the structure and the division of the planks stand out. The mask replaces the slow business of masking by hand and saves time. The shapes are cut for the deck of the Tamiya 31113 kit.

The real subject

IJN Yamato was the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and, together with her sister ship Musashi, the largest battleship ever built. She carried main guns of the exceptional 46 cm caliber, and her expansive wooden decks are among the prominent features whose faithful rendering lifts a model greatly.

Use

• First paint the deck in the base wood color and let it dry.
• Seat the film precisely on the deck to match the shape of the part and press it down.
• Spray a darker shade over the mask to bring out the seams and the texture.
• Remove the mask carefully before the paint hardens completely.

Who it is for

• Ship builders in 1:700 scale who want a realistic deck
• Modelers who prefer an airbrush to masking by hand
• Anyone after a faithful model of the Japanese battleship Yamato

This is an accessory for a ship model, not a kit. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.
