Hi all!.
I am Keumho Kim from Korea.
For ten years, we have been forcused on Dry Transfers for Aero modelers with brand Hobbydecal.
From some years ago we have developed some materials as auto lathe for brass barrels and masts. and Laser cut woodend deck including blue deck. and some other materials.
We've just relased some blue decks for Independence and Missouri.
Now we are developing Essex class blue deck sets and will be release within this month.

Please visit our web page http://pontosmodel.com

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you

The hull markings dry-transfer decal sets look very interesting. Would you consider separate sets? And if so, adding a few black markings would be most useful as well. Some Royal Navy warships had black markings above the boot topping and white markings below them, with one set of numbers half black, half white.

Or more to the point: should you want to make an HMS Hood set, try including two-colored draft markings. You have it planned for release end of this month?

Thank you for your advice.

Kim, thank you for announcing these new products here and for your sponsorship of this forum.

Any plans for decks in 1:700 scale? I would think the aircraft decks in blue would attract interest, and might suggest, in that same vein, that mahogany-stained decks for the Lexington and Saratoga (in either scale) might be of interest as well.

I will note, too, that there have been some recent posts/inquiries about decal needs for 1:700 scale submarines. If you have any interest in the challenge of producing decals in this scale, I'd be pleased to provide more details.

Hi D-Boy,
As all makers for these kind, our ultimate destination is to release all decks if possible.
However we have limit in time and Especially for me I am now scribing barrels myself, designing PE and printing Dry decals by myself. But I promise we will release 1 new deck per week or two decks per 2 weeks or 4 new decks per month. In really now Tamiya Bis/Tirpitz, New Jersey finished fitting and waiting for producing.
Please keep our webpage for releasing date.
Now Yorktown (Essex class) is urgent for us.
1/700 we already finished fitting main battle ships waiting for producing.
1/700 US Aircrafts(Enterprise and Vogue and other class) with 20-B also within our near project.

Any information for submarines is welcome.
Printing dry transfer is my main job for 10years.

Thank you
Kim

Hi All,

All our Deck products included Black Anchor chain(about 20cm long). This black is matt and hard to scratch.
But there is no mid protector for each chain ring.


Thank you

You make a deck for Hasegawa's Mikasa and I'll buy it.
Also one of the 350 scale destroyers like Yukikase if they had wooden decks.

Eric,
Almost decks have been developed and waiting for being released.
But I am sorry that we have communicated with Hasegawa so if there are their original same products we would not release.

Thank you
Kim

Just email me, I will let you know the total price including shipping fee.
Paypal is the best for us now.

Hi Kim,

I have a question:
Why is the deck of the USS CVL-22 Independence in 20-B Deck Blue?

The wooden decks of the CV, CVL and CVE from the US-Navy was in 21 Flight Deck Stain or 250N Norfolk Flight Deck Stain.
Or perhaps not?

Hi Lance,
You are right.

Some had let me know in late WWII almost CV had stained with 20B.
So I decided our blue deck in mid tone of both blues.
Practically our Blue deck is a slight darker than CV blue and a slight lighter than 20B.
H company also decided this blue for their CV option part and released.

All who watched our real blue deck tone have been satisfied with this tone.
I hope you are also one of them.

Thank you
Kim

Hi Kim,
thank you for your quick answer!

Is a wooden deck for the 1/350 Arizona planned?

Best wishes

This is goods news. With 1/700, I think you will be reaching a market that you would have otherwise passed by, with only offering 1/350. Many of us do not find the larger scales practical.

Now other ships are waiting for being released.
But if we have the kit, even 1 set can be released.

Wood sheet may be some thicker for 1/700 though the effect is better than painting.
So I am searching the thinner material for 1/700 or making sheet.
I would not be YESMAN but I will try to do my best for as many decks as possible.

Thank you
Kim

Hey,

I tried to send an email to your help@pontonmodel.com in order to inquiry your product, but it seems this addres is wrong since system told me Delivery Status Notification (Failure)?.

[Timmy C]

If you typed that exact address, then it's spelt wrong - there's a wrong 'n' in the 'pontonmodel' part, which should be an 's', as in 'pontosmodel'.

Hello Kim,

I just received your Independence flight deck.

AFAIK it's the first time a US carrier kit wooden deck is made with the grain of the wood in the right direction, i.e. transversally.
That makes your deck highly realistic, but somewhat difficult to handle.
This deck is really awesome and almost to scale with a thickness of .26mm, giving 91mm to scale. The PE accessories are very nice too.
Love the lift PE borders.

I'm waiting now for a similar deck for Essexes and for French BB Richelieu.
As for Richelieu, will it be possible to have it tinted natural wood?

We've bought and got this French ship kit.
If I make this Wooden deck as kit standard, I can make within one day.
But I would and should study more for the colors of deck or shape of deck because I am sure Trumpeter might have some faults in realizing deck.
I also would scribe Barrels and Mast an yardarms for this ship
At this point, You French can give me some advices for these matters.
I will follow your advices because I do not know detailly for this Richelieu.

Thank you
Kim
