Thin paint helps a lot - let each layer dry before doing a subsequent coat.
The great thing about carriers is that you can weather the crap out of the flight deck with different shades to hide any brush strokes. For the hull, make good use of the various sponson surfaces to apply edge-to-edge strokes, and try doing vertical strokes - they blend with the direction of weathering better.

Thanks, that is a SWEET looking paint job! Better to thin and multiple coats. I've read alot about primer...is it really needed?
