Purpose and Application

The decal is of a universal scale (best effect in 1/32, 1/35, and 1/48 scales) and allows for impressive replication of the texture and grain of old, faded boards. It is an excellent choice for modelers building:

• fighter or bomber aircraft from the World War I era, such as the Fokker D.VII (Germany), Albatros D.V (Germany), which used exposed, lacquered, or stained wings and fuselages,
• armored vehicles and tank destroyers with wooden elements (Europe – 1914–1945),
• models of civil vehicles from historical eras as well as dioramas depicting buildings or infrastructure elements with natural wooden surfaces,
• railway wagons with wooden sides or floors.

Material and Set Contents

The Uschi 1026 decal is made from ultra-thin, flexible film that perfectly conforms to the model's surface. The set includes a sheet with dimensions optimal for covering large areas of fuselages, wings, or flat construction elements. The "Weathered Timber" decal delivers a unique, gently faded and cracked wood pattern, allowing for an exceptionally realistic aged effect without tedious brush painting.
