IJN CV Landing Stripes Deck Marking Decals — 1-1800 Scale

IJN CV Landing Stripes Deck Marking Decals — 1-1800 Scale
1-1800 scale waterslide landing-stripe markings for Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carriers. They are printed on clear-background waterslide decal paper, allowing the modeler to paint the deck in any desired color before applying the decal over the painted surface.
 
Historical Information
These decals reproduce the prominent flight-deck landing stripe markings used on IJN aircraft carriers. The exact arrangement and dimensions varied by ship and period, so the markings should be positioned and trimmed to match the carrier and configuration being modeled.
 
Model Compatibility
Designed for reasonably scaled 1-1800 IJN aircraft carrier miniatures. Because flight deck dimensions vary between ships, 3D-print designers, and manufacturers, test-fit before application.
 
Custom Fitting
The landing stripes are intentionally supplied for custom fitting and may need to be trimmed to match the flight deck. A practical method is to make a cardstock template that fits the model, trace that shape onto the back of the decal, and then cut the decal to fit before application.
 
Application
Apply over a properly prepared and gloss-coated model surface using normal waterslide-decal techniques. For more information, see Why Gloss Clear Coat?.
