Fits Classic Revell USS Constitution Kit

This Wood Deck for the 1/96 USS Constitution\"Old Ironsides\"manufactured by Revell.This production run represents new manufacturing process. Our decks are micro-thin (about the thickness of a heavy sheet of paper) and made of 100% real wood, backed with thermal fleece to provide working strength. Our manufacturing process combines Laser Printing and Laser Cutting for extreme precision. Decks are intended to be cemented to plastic model with styrene cement, Contact Cement, or Epoxy. We do not provide a self-adhesive backing as our experience has shown that these can be problematic in positioning. With the thermal fleece backing, the glue has plenty of surface to bind to.

As for the detail,this deck includes historically accurate planking, to scale, on the USS Constitution as she appeared in 1812. The planking pattern molded into the deck is overscale, but our fine printing process allows for historic scale accuracy. Note the close-ups that feature the scale nibbing pattern at the bow, and the individual plank tint variations. Other manufacturer\'s wood decks simply burn in a pattern with the laser cutter, resulting in a very thick brown line - and these lines often appear quite far apart. Our process uses a very fine inkjet printed line 1/300 of an inch thick and printed in grey to simulate the oakum that was inserted between the actual deck planking on wooden sailing ships. We use this complicated two-step printing process because we are able to apply a line much thinner than \"burning\" in the pattern with the laser. Also, the simulated end-cuts between the planks are also printed in a tone consistent with the oakum, avoiding the extra-dark chocolaty-brown lines that can result whenrelying upon the laser to do this. The next result is that you have a real wood surface that looks like real wood, with accurate scale and color oakum lines to separate the individually colored planks.

Best of all, each deck is printed an entire, continuous sheet that extends from bow-to-stern, covering up those ugly seams in the three-piece deck as molded by Revell. The single sheet of wood is precision cut and drops directly into place onto the plastic deck in one step. Super-fast to do, and a superb result every time!

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 known to fit the Revell 1/96 USS Constitution \"Old Ironsides.\" Note that this set is TWENTY-SEVEN INCHES LONG, and consists of both the gun deck and spar deck. This is for the LARGEST Revell kit, not the smaller 1/196 kit, or the Revell Germany kit in 1/150 scale. (The 1/196 deck is available now in our store, the 1/150 will be coming soon!)
