Chris certainly did a magnificent job on his builds:) So, that set includes all the colours needed for a build of an RN battleship?

The box is Lifecolor's set of RN paints. As I understand it, they got permission from Chris to use his PoW model on the cover, even though Chris didn't actually use the Lifecolor paints on it...

Harq, the 0.64mm spacing you have in the photo is exactly what I used on Duke of York.
IMHO, and I wholeheartedly agree with EJ, it is a very good product with good widths for planks and looks very good on DoY up close, far, far better than the kit's deck.
I believe, and I could very well be wrong, that for an Iowa class ship, the planks were/are 8 inches wide. The Iowa class experts would have to chime in here to confirm or deny that. If confirmed, N-Scale Car Siding would be closer to scale.
Be advised that the grooves in Car Siding are more shallow than V-Groove. Heavy paint could easily fill the Car Siding grooves ruining the effect. If you choose to go with Car Siding, choose your paint, and painting technique, carefully.
Hope this helps!

Thank you. I was asking in reference to other 1/350 warships, an Iowa class BB for instance, but I know typical deck planks were maybe 5 to 6 inches in width which equates to scale widths of less than half a millimeter... EJFoeth wrote: Actually, for some ships the V-grooved styrene fits a 9" plank width very well. Very convenient for people who thought they used the wrong deck Well it comes in different widths, i.e., distance between grooves so there's not just one size. I didn't really understand your comment with no mention of scale (no context).

Thanks, The wrong one, but not a bad one. A better choice is N Scale Car Siding, 3-1/4" Spacing. This gives an even narrower plank width of ~8 scale inches in 1/350 scale. I used N Scale Car Siding for the flight deck of a 1/350 USS Saratoga and it looks very, very good.
