| The pre-cut deck sheet is very thin,
so care should be used when removing it from the larger sheet.
This is self adhesive, and the backing will have to be peeled off before
applying it to your Prince of Wales.
There are six parts - the forward half the main deck, the aft half of the main deck, and four smaller parts the complete the deck around the hangar and catapult. The locations of the vents, hatches and bollards are all cut out. |

 This
deck sheet is made specifically for Flyhawk's basic Prince of Wales
May 1941 kit (FH1153). The sheet is sharply cut, and easy to
remove from the larger sheet. These wood decks are also very thin,
and you should be careful when removing them from the backing and placing
them on the model. For those modelers who like to add wood decks
to their models, this is an excellent looking set, and should enhance your
Battle of the Denmark Strait Prince of Wales nicely.
This is Flyhawk set FH710051, the wooden deck for their May 1941 Prince of Wales kit. It retails for around $38.00. Thanks to Flyhawk for the review sample. Highly recommended. |
