1/350 Scale Decks New Jersey Modern Iowa Missouri Wisconsin Conversion Maple Finish

Item consists of TWELVE (!) separate pieces!  This offering allows you to complete the Tamiya kit as the Modern New Jersey, but also includes alternate bow and stern pieces compatible with converting this kit to the other modern Iowa Class ships - namely the Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin as outfitted in their 1980s refits.

You can read about the technology that makes our decks unique on the Technology Page.  In short, they are incredibly thin, with very detailed printing of features.  Our decks are backed with thermal fleece allowing you to use your choice of adhesives.

Decks come in a color choice of Natural Maple, Natural Teak, grain-free Matte Photographic Paper and Tinted Wood.  See the Materials Page for samples.  Real naval ships use Teak due to its great resistance to weather.  Some modelers prefer a lighter wood to present a good scale effect of a sun-bleached and weathered deck - and so Maple would be a better choice in these circumstances.  If you are doing a diorama and want the deck to look darker because it is wet, then Teak would be a better choice.  Darker ships look great with Teak to really bring out the richness of the wood.  Photographic paper is grain free and simulates planking very well.  You also have the option of having the individual plank tinting applied to wood.  The choice is up to you.

Decks are precision measured and cut to 1/100 of an inch accuracy, and all of our decks are custom tested on actual plastic kits.

This deck is fully compatible with etched brass detail sets, and can bring your model to an amazing level of realism.  Our genuine Laser Cut Wood Decks are manufactured FOR scale modelers BY scale modelers.
