Very nice paint job! I also have this kit and eventually will make it, just like you did, with a full hull :big_grin:

This is looking really great! All the PE and your good detail work really make the details jump out at you.

When I was a kid, my buddies and I all had to build the Mighty Mo. We didn't have PE then, and I can still remember all of the quad 40MM's looked like anything but guns. Each two barrel set was joined in the middle. I can't even remember which company made that kit.

I agree. It's a great job. I'm building the same ship and has some difficulty for a good paint job.
regards

Add a fourth one to that mix. Incredible level of detail and execution.

Of course, I don't think the Mighty Mo ever got quite that dirty while wearing that scheme, but what do we care? It looks fantastic. :thumbs_up_1:

Hello, Finally have time to update my build. Sorry for picture heavy.

Railing PE added, superstructure primed.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Hull red on, deck and superstructure glued, railing on the deck glued.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Masked up to the waterline, AS-16 Light grey on and start masking the sexy camo.
Image

Image

Image

So sorry, forgot to take photos of 2nd and 3rd stage of the hull camo process. These are the outcome.
Image

Image

Due to some grey sip through the masking and stained the waterline, I respray it, mask the full hull and start working on the superstructure camo. Some photos forgotten during the progress.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Camo of the superstructure done. Some touch up is needed. Finally relieved. Hopefully not too bad for this 2nd ship.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Thats all for now. Next will be the deck. Thanks for the time. All comment are welcome. Have a great day ahead. :woo_hoo:



May I ask which surfacer and tinner do you use?
