Shark7 -> RE: OT: '41 US Navy model pics anyone? (12/21/2009 6:07:25 PM)

I haven't built any USN Models other than Arizona and a Buckley DE years ago. Not surprisingly I do build the IJN vessels though.
Camo isn't really that hard, though you will need some masking film and some skill with an exacto knife. Air brushing gives the most uniform look, but I have been able to make some quite convincing paint schemes with just brushes. Best thing to do is to find a picture of the ship with the camo scheme, and get as close an approximation of it in pencil on the masking film once the film is stuck to the model. Then you can carfully cut and remove pieces of film for each color, saving the ones not being used ATM to use later with the next color.
Also remember to thin your paint out a little and don't expect to fully cover in 1 coat...2-4 coats are usually needed to get good uniform coverage.
And good luck with it! [:)]
