Uschi 1005 Fine Veneer Plywood Decals (4 Patterns included) for 1/72,1/48,1/32 Aircraft

The WGSF48-C "Fine Veneer Plywood Decal" includes the latest state of knowledge after countless hours of research and testing within the last two years.

The product is optimized in terms of natural appearance, interesting variation, and user friendly application. Wood grain as such does not really have a reference in terms of being in scale. There are limitations of course, but this product works in the 1/72nd,1/48th as well as 1/32nd scale .

The things we had in the past were really good, but this one here is actually "Uschi's finest", seen from he perspective of an aircraft modeler.
It includes not less than four (4!) types of woodgrain, based on woods used by the aircraft industry in the early and mid 20th century. Birch and Ice Birch woodgrain textures have a very unique apperance. This product takes that fact into full account.

The decals are printed on a super thin and slightly elatistic carrier film. Especially the elastic properties come in very handy when it comes to perfect fit to the panel. One can push sections of the decal a little bit to the edges of the panel, in case we have a small trimming error. This works at best during the first third of the drying time.
The application is as simple as ever. You control the final appearance by the colors you use for the basecoat. The best colors for a basecoat are Tamiya "Flesh" and Gunze "Radome" acrylics. You may tone it the way you want by adding some "Sail Color" or "Deck Tan" as well as "White" or "Off White".
Personly I recommend to start with the darkest color of all and bright up the centers of the panel concerned, using super thin mists applyed with an airbrush. This creates the illusion of some kind of pre-shading and is very helpful on achieving convincing results.
