Ray,

It looks to be the same as their wood deck only cut in plastic.

Me to on the product(?????). A better, close up of the product is needed. If it is good it would sure beat the Fuso Wood deck in 1:700 in price. Wood deck for the Fuso is around $70 yet other ships are half that. Don't know why the fuso has to be so expensive.
