Mind: this item is a decal sheet that serves to decorate a scalemodel. The scalemodel is not included and needs to be ordered separately.
This set contains 6xA5 (B5 for the US) sheets, sporting not less than 8 different textures, from "noisy" to clear and crisp. This variation in texture is essential in order to achive a natural appearance of the final model.
Combined with a thin glaze of oil paint (Burnt Sienna) or a thin mist of Clear Yellow/Orange on some separated panels, the modeller is able to achieve both, a maximum realistic rendition of this wooden jet powered flying wing, or an interesting and attractively aesthetic scale model with pleasing contrasts of natural metal and bare wood.
From 72nd to 32nd scale
Usually Uschi's wood grain decals work in the 72nd up to the 32nd scale. Wood as a natural material doesnt really have a definitve reference in scale. The Horten however, has some rather huge panels for a scale model and all of them are pretty plain. The entire model "works" via the woodgrain only. If you mess that up, the best NMF wont win a flower pot. Uschi needed a perfectly adjusted product which really delivers and helps to produce a wood grain texture which is as striking as possible.
A simple "scalin´ it up" was not enough. It didnt look good enough for their taste. So again they conducted extensive tests in order to find the best possible wood grain textures for the job.
