Airbrush Wooden Deck Mask for 1/700 Royal Navy KING GEORGE V (For Tamiya)

Js Work Wooden Deck Mask 1:700 Royal Navy King George V (1:700 scale)

This is a self-adhesive masking film (a mask) for the airbrush, intended for painting the wooden deck of the British King George V class battleship from the Tamiya kit 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 real subject

The King George V class battleships were among the principal units of the Royal Navy in the Second World War. Among other actions they took part in the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck. Rendering their wooden decks faithfully lifts the overall look of a model considerably.

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 a British King George V class battleship

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