Sure, whatever scale you need.

The masking sheet for the OHP are done, have a couple in stock.

10 USD for 1/350, ask if you need a bigger one.

You can give contact me here or on Facebook (RS Finemodels)

Hi,

what PE set do you recommend to use on the Oliver H.Perry class frigates (long hull version) at 1/700 scale?


thanks.

I am on my first kit in many years, working on my old ship USS ANTRIM FFG-20 (Now sailing in the Turkish Navy)

Kindly recommend the best non-airbrush paints that I should buy for 1) The Haze Gray 2) Deck Grey 3) Brass fittings and any other recommendations appreciated.

Thanks,
J Olson

Are you looking for rattle-can paints, or something you could brush on?

De quoi s'agit-il?

I am currently building my old ship USS ANTRIM FFG-20 using the Academy Oliver Hazard Perry kit.

The motor whale boat in the kit is not anywhere near the type of outboard on my old ship. I am hoping for any suggestions on a solution to find a similar one to the one at this link. Thanks.

I ran into the same issue with my build of USS McInerney (FFG-8) and ended up modifying (as best I could) an old ISW whaleboat I had in my spares box (see last photo in the series at http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery ... /index.htm).

Since then, L'Arsenal developed a modern MWB kit (http://www.larsenal.com/1-350-us-navy-1 ... 2x19796444) which is what I would use now.

HTH,

Question about two specific FFG's.
The USS Vandegrift ffg-48 & the USS Gary ffg-51.
Are these long hull or short hull? The time frame I want to do is 2005. Are there any specific references for these ships anyone knows of?
I want to do ships of Carrier Strike group 5 the USS Kitty hawk. I have been scouring the web for photos. I have found the the front missile
launcher was replaced/ removed somewhere between 2004 & 2006 but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Theses are my first questions
as I am doing the research before I get started. I have the Academy 1/350 kit of the OHP & the Pontos deluxe set.
This will be my first ship model since I was a kid back in the 70's. I think my skills are to the point that I can do justice to one so I am diving in with both feet.

I have been doing 1/35 armor and 1/48 & 1/2 aircraft for years but have always admired the ship builders. Just something about a well built model ship.
Especially since I have seen Kelly Quirk's work in person having been to many KC contests back in the day.
I have always wanted a big aircraft carrier and have owned the Tamiya Enterprise but it just wasn't what I wanted. I have already purchased the Trumpeter
1/350 scale Kitty Hawk but want to work up to it. I am hoping Pontos releases a detail set for it. I know that KA models has one but I don't want to have to sell some organs to pay for it.
And I already have the USS JFK next in my sights. Addiction? Perhaps, but what do you do.

Thanks
Tom

Thanks for the info. I had found those pictures but must have missed the dates.

Another question. On photos of the front of the ship there is a notch above the doors on either side. In fact Pontos give you a template to cut those out. Whats behind there? Is it a platform or something? Is there glass in it? What is the reason for it's existence? If there is something behind I want to build the structure. I can see on some photos there might be a ladder down the side under it but can tell for sure.

Thanks
Tom

These ones? They're for the red and green navigation lights. Willie discusses adding them to his model a few pages back: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=21745&start=340#p409284

Yes those are the ones. I must have missed it when i read through it the first time. Must be a platform for maintenance behind it.

Thanks
Tom

There is a storage platform behind, RAN and USN units, not sure on Spanish units as the partition has been modified.
