richter111 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 There is a learning curve with those railings. Looks like you are doing well, paint hides a multitude of sins, and the gloss from superglue disappears under a spot of dull cote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Did some repairs and added more brass stuff. Gold Medal makes great stuff. I noticed the control office I made near flight deck level was way to big, so I sanded it off and did it over. Also noticed the one photo reference I had of the aft end of the island is extremely different from the model. I have been adding stripes of plastic card and adding little boxes to make it look right. Sadly I did not notice some of the radars Tamiya gives you are now placed in different locations today, before I glued them in place. But alas I am not too disappointed. Overall I am liking the way its going but more repairs and changes are coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
