This is a Wood Deck for the 1/350 USS Arizona that fits the classic model ship kit manufactured by
Hobby Boss, Mini Hobby, Banner, Panda and other manufacturers
.
This deck is
really
special!  Let me explain...  The USS Arizona is a great subject to model, and 1/350 is a great scale to model in.  But the 1/350 USS Arizona kit leaves a
lot
to be desired.  There are hideous seams in the deck.  And the kit is made with really ugly and chunky staircases that most modelers scrape off.  Some modelers scrape off the gun shields, too, and replace them with much finer parts - either photo etch from a kit or even scratch built.  In the past, if you wanted to make changes to the kit like that, wood decks manufactured to fit the kit as molded would have ugly holes where you removed all that inaccurate junk.
But NOT with this deck from scaledecks.com!  We know what you want (we asked!)  And so this deck comes with two versions built right in:  1) A deck designed to fit with the ugly and inaccurate staircases removed, AND 2) a deck designed to fit with the staircases, gun shields, and boat racks removed giving you a clean, uninterrupted surface to serve as a foundation for your scratch building that covers up all the scars in the plastic.
But WAIT!  There's MORE!  :-D
This deck ALSO includes two templates to allow you to cut out the holes for the molded in staircases in the event that you are going to be building the kit "as-is" and just follow the directions on the box.
So if you are doing a basic built, we got you covered.  If you are doing a standard built with basic photo etch ladders, we have a deck for that.  And if you are going all-out and using this kit as a basis for a lot of scratch-building, we have the PERFECT solution for you, too!
YOU GET THEM ALL, plus
our unique individually tinted plank coloring system for maximum realism!
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.
You can read about the technology that makes our decks unique at scaledecks.com.
Our decks are incredibly thin - less than 1/100 of an inch - or not much thicker than a heavy coat of paint.  This allows you to glue them right on top of the plastic deck provided in the kit.  Since the wood decks are backed with fleece to provide strength across the grain, this allows you to use your choice of adhesives.
At scaledecks.com, we do
not
burn in a plank pattern using the laser onto a grainy piece of wood, as we have found this to result in an unnatural appearance with heavy, chocolaty-brown lines on the deck.  Instead, we actually print with inks on a nearly grain-free piece of wood from an aspen tree, and simulate individual plank tint variations.  This is detail that simply cannot be achieved with a normal laser-cutting manufacturing process, and the resulting detail is unmatched anywhere else in the industry.
This deck can bring your model to an amazing level of realism.
