thanks dave,i have already made all the ships boats,then i found out she never carried all of them,by what i can figure out see carried about half of what most models show.in the configuration i am showing her she had extra 20 mm guns in place of some of the boats.as for paint i use spray cans and brushable ,tamiya,model master,testers,i have a air brush but don't know how to use it,i am going to have to learn, i think it would make life easier.the camo on the upper works was done by putting it all together loose then drawing a pencil line trying to line up the hull with the guns,deck and every thing.then taking it apart and masking then painting future on to stop bleeding,it works not to bad."this tip i picked up on this forum".no more camo for me.Dave the way you work on your models i am sure you would have no trouble doing camo,as always your work is exellent ,gives most of us something to shoot for.
