    The paint result is top notch Tony, wonderful looking camouflage scheme. Never heard of "GSW/Green Stuff World" before; the paint pen concept looks very handy.

    MENG 1/35 Chinese ZTQ 15 light tank with cage armour

    Looks interesting Colin. The box translation says it is a limited edition, so the red box is probably an attempt at making the kit look fancy (similar to Eduard's Royal Class Boxings). The colours also correspond to those used by the Government of China. Good luck with the build, I like the...

    May go dark for a little while

    Good to hear you are well and truly on the mend Tim. It sounds like you are enjoying life and mobility after years of discomfort. It is amazing how we adapt to living with health issues over time.

    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.

    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.

    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...
