Artitec Shop - 7220020 - Ship, Boat, Barge - Undecorated

Specific Item Information: Artitec kits consist of resin and etched metal components. In the box, you will find resin castings. This material sometimes needs to be sanded or trimmed so we recommend keeping a sharp scalpel and some sandpaper to hand. Resin is not coloured and can be painted with Humbrol enamel or acrylic paint. The small details are made of etched metal.

Road Name History: Although they may be molded in color, unpainted and unlettered, undecorated products are marketed to modelers who seek to custom decorate their models for private roads and/or road and/or company names that were not commercially produced by any of the major manufacturers.

Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display. Materials for these models can vary but often include plastic, pewter and resin. Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.

Brand/Importer Information: Artitec has also made a name for itself in the world of model railroading with rolling stock. From the famous ‘Blue Angels’ multiple diesel units to steam locomotives of the former State Railways and Dutch Railways, Artitec has filled many domestic niches and has in recent years moved into the global railway market.

Relatively new additions to the range are Artitec’s smaller scale military models for collectors and modellers. For our military models, we go a step further than the competition. Each model is built by hand and hand-painted.

Artitec will continue to focus on the mission it has had since its earliest days. Whether it is a collector's item for display or a diorama or model railway, our aim is to help you to narrate history’s story.
