1-350 USS Yorktown

:wave_1: I haven't began this model, and I've already got an headache, I was looking at the top deck and all of a sudden a huge problem - how on earth do you paint all the little dots in ? Three rows, square, dashes, and a few other smaller dots, please don't tell me you mask this up, that there's an easy way of establishing those rows. Look forward to your reply, I hope.

For mine, I sprayed the deck with the deck colour, then used a small brush to carefully handpaint all the dashes - no masking.

Timmy C, with fingers crossed, I wonder if you can help me further, the top decking, I have brought 2 paints from WEM flight deck stain 21 and #20 standard deck grey, this is a serious question although quite a weird one to ask, what do I do with the 2 different paints ? I know I may seem like a lost cause, but I really am stuck before I even begin, look forward to your reply.

Flight deck stain goes on the wooden flight deck - the other one goes on the surfaces that would be metal in real life.
