So I was wondering if I could go with an overall Gloss Sea Blue version instead?

Like this? http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/aircr ... ed_USA.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Trainer scheme, rather than the tactical one, although it was then decided that the USN would adopt the all-over blue for all aircraft!

Something like that Chris.

Or an overall Gloss Sea Blue a/c in USN service in 1945.

Thats the colour I did my 48th scale flight 19 one. It will really bring out the detail in the airframe, I think xtracolour/xtracrylic do the exact paint you will be after

well not a lot done today, but ive been to ikea and got my lazy susan and modified it, with a drill!

im at work tomorrow so none until monday

anyway, flaps down





notice the toberlone added to the front of the wings

[markmarples]

looking forward to this one

Nice choice Dan! Look forward to seeing it!

[jamesv9820]

These build up into a huge model! Looking forward to seeing this one!

[jamesv9820]

Looking good so far - you must be 40% through the build already?

[jamesv9820]

Blimey am I right thinking that this is a 3 month not 3 day build

Coming on nicely Daz, take your time with the painting, thin it nicely before you brush it on... If it helps get some Micromesh or mild grade sanding sponges from MDC as these help a lot (a lot of the guys on here use them to smooth the paint)
Coming on nicely though!

[jamesv9820]

Gotta love this - Shame you arent doing the NMF, would look cracking with a load of alclad on it!

[jamesv9820]

Like the Idea of a diorama....

I did have that in mind for my build....

Looking forward to seeing this one, especially if it is on a deck of a carrier

[jamesv9820]

Looks a nice kit; totally not my scale but look forward to seeing this one develop

[markmarples]

thanks, i need to remove the flaps and cut down the inner one as i forgot the RAF ones have shorter ones on the inner of the 2 compared to the forigne ones

otherwise its going well, my problem now is im working for the next 5 days so time is against me to finish for the 17th, but we shall see

the decals arrived yesterday as did the etch, but i think i will save that for the second one, also waiting for a new etch bending tool, to do the canopy mirrors

[markmarples]

i like the 3 tone mate!, well done in your progression

[Flyingmonster]

There will be a update today Did not get on with much yesterday I went A380 hunting lol

[viper3111]

Dan, that is really nice,

What colour did you use for the tub?

[viper3111]

Cheers for that, It looks about right
Ive got to try and do it for my russian machines

[benyboy]

Thank you for the comments guys

I`m going for quantity over quality Andy Ive got feeling Ben might take the prize for the biggest if he goes for what I think he will

James - that Alclad stuff, thats for real modelers I have my schem planned and I think it might get a mixed reception

I am on with the interior at the moment, I hate interiors. I guess thats kind of strange for somebody who builds models

The kits not good to be honest. It does not help that the previous owner snapped some of the parts off I think I am going to have a lot of trouble getting the centre section together Quite a lot of flash on the small parts.

I know I am going to love it when it is all together and and I can get some paint on.

If I need to make up my pic count I will put one of the cockpit on at some time

Lots of competion this time. Good luck all

Ben

[markmarples]

[markmarples]

Looking good , but I dont think much of your display stand...

ikeas best lazy susan! with added holes!
