O Motrak Models Laser Cut 3Tab Shingles/Black 44001 - O Scale Detail Accessory

The O Motrak Models Laser Cut 3Tab Shingles/Black 44001 is a precision detailing accessory designed for O Scale (1:48) model buildings. These laser-cut sheets realistically simulate standard three-tab asphalt roofing found on many residential and commercial structures, featuring a classic black finish that mimics common black asphalt roofing widely used throughout North America.

Product Details

These black 3-tab shingles offer exceptional realism for model builders seeking to replicate one of the most popular roofing colors in modern construction. The laser-cutting process ensures precise tab lines and appropriate overlap patterns that create an authentic three-dimensional appearance when applied to model roofs. Black roofing is a timeless choice found on structures from the early 20th century through contemporary times.

Kit Contents

  • 4 sheets included per package
  • Each sheet contains: 18 rows at 8.5 inches long
  • Coverage per sheet: 19 actual square inches
  • Total coverage: Approximately 76 square inches
  • Includes: Starter strips and caps for complete roof finishing

Features

  • Precision laser-cut for accurate tab lines and overlap patterns
  • Black finish mimics common black asphalt roofing
  • Highly textured, three-dimensional appearance for realistic roofs

  • Starter strips and caps included for professional-looking results
  • Pre-cut rows for easy, consistent application

Application Instructions

These are non-adhesive shingles designed to be applied to model roof substrates using common hobby adhesives. The manufacturer recommends using white glue, a glue stick, or transfer tape for best results. The pre-cut rows make application straightforward and ensure consistent overlap for a professional appearance.

Applications

These versatile black 3-tab shingles are perfect for:

  • Modern residential homes
  • Contemporary commercial buildings
  • Industrial and warehouse structures
  • Early-to-late 20th century buildings
  • Urban and suburban developments
  • Garages and outbuildings
  • Any structure requiring standard black asphalt roofing

Finishing and Weathering

The black finish is ready to use as-is or can be further customized with weathering techniques to achieve the desired appearance. Weathering can add depth and realism, simulating fading to charcoal gray, algae staining, or age-related wear typical of black roofing materials exposed to the elements over time.
