Coastlines 1/1250 CL-0008B Detailing kit for Atlas Editions "Normandie": top deck names
When new the French transatlantic liner Normandie had the name displayed on both sides of the top deck abaft the middle funnel. This kit has two thin polyurethane castings that can be placed in postion to improve the accuracy of the Atlas Editions, 1/1250 scale model, see photograph.
The set of two nameplates are made by Coastlines Models, CL-0008B.
Although the nameplates are cast in white polyurethane resin, it is recommended that they be painted with white paint to protect the plastic becoming brittle with prolonged exposure to daylight.
Photographic evidence suggests that the nameplates were removed from the ship during the 1938 refit of the ship.
