Thanks Derek it's just tamiya acrylic Matt colours grey then red then black masked with tamiya tape marked with a very fine pencil in a scribing block with hull upside down if you see what I mean

Never ever take dragon instructions for granted I was fitting the 8 twin mount guns to the catwalks and I ran out of guns lol instructions say 8 but 9 are needed luckily they do supply enough spares to build the last one that will teach me not to check

Go for it dragon do a very nice little uss Benson destroyer foot long inch wide the fits on there kits is as good as the tamiya stuff if not better they are over engineered but I like that it's sort of more build for your quid

Started the aircraft and flight deck equipment I'll post some pictures when I'm a bit further on with them I think I'll do the flight deck as if they are about to do a big aircraft assault so fighters at the front ready to take off torpedo bombers at the rear being redied


Got to airbrush some Vallejo Matt clear onto the hull at some point soon mainly to cover the gloss varnish I put down before the decals went on all the best guys for now
