    BOATMANS USS HORNET in 1/200 SCALE

    Superb result Chris. Not much more to say that I haven't already in other posts for your Hornet build, except that you should be very proud of that finish.

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    The RAF system was a clear bulb which was covered with the appropriate colour before installation inside the clear lens cover. So arguably even more efficient than having a pre-coloured bulb or lens. Modern aircraft use a similar setup, but I'm not sure if the bulbs are pre-coloured or not.

    Mania models 1/72 mitsubishi ki 51 Sonia

    In 1/48 not so bad, but the sheer amount of glazing is enough to give me sleepless nights :oops:

    I share your dislike of complicated canopy masking Tony. That landing light conversion will make a difference.

    Boatmans 1/200 scale USS HORNET CV8 BUILD AN LIGHTS for the Doolittle raid on japan

    I've had models where one person liked and that was it. It happens, people miss posts. May I suggest you put your completed photos in the completed ships section Chris? Maybe members don't realise you've completed the Hornet build. :)

    Masking.

    Hi George. I normally use Tamiya tape too, but I also have used Ammo and Vallejo brands. Much of a muchness really. Tamiya tape is more readily available, and you can get them in either dispensers, or as refills.

    I had a look through my bookmarks Tony, and found this colour chart for Japanese paint codes in 1945. 6-2 "Ao-iro" (Army code No.13/Navy E-1) is a likely candidate for the overall blue scheme. Equates to an FS number of 5088, which looks like a colour weirdly known as "Handicap Blue". I think...

    I know Mania model moulds still appear in Hasegawa guise, but I'm not sure that I've seen this particular aeroplane before. It's coming together very nicely and quickly Tony.

    Kotare Spitfire Vb 1/32 scale

    Superb job Barry. Is one of the four things that most of the airframe stencils and the wing walk way lines have been overpainted? Oh, and the wheel wells are still in their original Sky colour.
