Campbell Profile Shingles: Profile Shingles are a rare product that combines easy application with complete realism. Wherever shown they have earned the praises of everyone for the amazingly realistic detail they give to model roofs and the unique and simple design that make them so easy to use. The Shingles are produced by a specially designed and engineered machine which turns them out in long strips, edge notched as realistic, random intervals. The back ruled cards are also included in the kit.. The Shingle material is matt-surfaced in a natural wood color and they can be weathered, stained or painted. For use on old-time building the individual shingles can be warped up here and there to give a very rough-split "shake" appearance.
Profile Shingles are ideal for use on all HO buildings where shingles are appropriate. It could be a new building or an older one you want to "upgrade" to full realism. Profile Shingles are no longer confined to only the roof. Model builders will find them very effective as siding on scratch-build structures. As examples of Shingle Siding refer to our kits: #0364 (Sheriff's Office), #0365 (Cigar Store), and #0371 (Matthews' Mercantile). These buildings are constructed of Profile Shingles as siding material over cardboard shells. Each bag of Profile Shingles contains enough to cover approximately a 9 x 12 inch roof area, three ruled Roof Cards, each 4 x 6 inches and an instruction sheet.
Profile Shingles were originally designed with HO scale in mind, however, they also can be used very satisfactorily on either "O" or "S" scale models. They are the perfect solution for shingle roofs on all architectural models, both professional and student.
