| Pontos Model Company has released a new wood deck for the New Tamiya Yamato, specifically the new tool version. Included is a laser etched wooden deck and decals. | |||||||||
| DECK | |||||||||
| The first thing you will notice is the thinness of the deck that gives it a more in-scale appearance. The planking is laser etched to scale and very fine. The locations of various deck details are etched on to help you properly locate them. The deck is self adhesive, just peel and stick. The manufacturer recommends spraying a light coat of water before applying to allow you to adjust the position a little. |
