Das Werk DWA024 Bridge Persenning Canvas 1/72 – Accessories for Submarine Model Kits

Das Werk DWA024 Bridge Persenning Canvas in 1/72 scale is a specialist decal set designed to recreate the canvas covers protecting the conning towers of German Navy submarines used during World War I. Offered by the renowned manufacturer Das Werk, this set is aimed at demanding modelers who strive for the highest level of realism when building early submarine models from the 1914–1918 period.

The canvas (persenning) used on real vessels served to shield the crew on the bridge from adverse weather conditions such as rain, wind, or sea spray. In the model, this detail is extremely important – it helps convey the atmosphere and specific characteristics of U-Boat type submarines, which revolutionized naval tactics during the Great War. The decals perfectly replicate the realistic texture of canvas and the distinctive arrangement of coverings across the conning tower as seen on historical vessels.
