I am about to place an order for the US pattern decking and I am offering a special preproduction price for the sheets of 6" x 12" plates. I decided against trying to etch all the parts to fit the M3 half track as there are at least three versions and many of you may want to change the cab interior of the Armortek half track to the correct configuration and I cannot cover all options making individual fitted parts.
The decking will be etched in nickle silver which will give it the correct color look. It will be .020" thick and can be cut with good quality cutters.
It will take three sheets of 6" x 12" to make all the deck parts with plenty of spare pieces for other projects. See layouts below for the M3 which has the largest deck area, other versions may take less decking, but I still think they will require three sheets.
Deck05 6" x 12" Nickle Silver "US" Pattern $60.00
Special Preproduction Price $50.00 per sheet.
If you would like to order these at the special price I need your order by April 16th, as this will be the date I have to confirm my order with the photo-etch company. Payment will be required by April 25. Decking will be ready for shipping first week of May.
Please e-mail your order by April 16th.
Basic deck layout for M3. This layout was taken for a 1:1 vehicle and should represent what is required for the 1:6 scale vehicle.
Parts layout for three sheets of decking.
