Jonkka Challenge is to come up with good blue for the upper surface... :thinks:
18. February 2016, 05:47
Jonkka Dauntless is complete. I decided to try to go for faded blue by first spraying darker blue and then adding thin layer of light grey on top. I was pretty satisfied with the result after painting but clear varnish turned it darker again and final result is not as good as it was.

Paulo Almeida Congrats! Love the painting and light weathering you've done.

Jonkka Thank you fellas. I had my share of problems with this build so it feels good to have it complete and so well liked.

Kelly Wellington Yes...Dark gull gray over matte white. And, as a lazy novice, I'm going to ignore the Blackburn Lancashire diving flaps revealed red underpanels...no mass of tiny red dots.
7. February 2016, 15:43
Kelly Wellington Hmmm...I like looking at your friend's project, but I'm not putting that much energy. For one, although I have a couple of drills, they are both manual...like for clearing out sockets, and such. No power drills yet to drill more than a hundred tiny holes. I did nothing about the cowl guns. Nothing whatsoever. Oh, and as per so many other Airfix kits...the canopy fit is abysmal. Back to apply more clear filler.
9. February 2016, 00:26
Kelly Wellington USS Ranger (CV-4), North Atlantic, 1943. Duantlesses, and Avengers, and Wildcats...OH MY!

Kelly Wellington Grumble. The clear canopy alignment is 'off'. Meaning that the middle set, which spans the back upright of the pilot's seat, is offset from the midline to the port. That section, of course is attached by runners to the lead windshield. A fair amount of clear 'filler' went into the openings and then was painted over. Any way...It is now ready for the Future and for decal selection to be made.
9. February 2016, 18:40
Thomas Bischoff years and years ago the fit was not better - I can still remember this as not being the best kit ever produced by Airfix.
The Atlantic gray over white is my favourite!
9. February 2016, 20:58
Kelly Wellington Well, to honor the tradition of sub-hunting by the US Navy, I've committed to the trio...Dauntless, Wildcat, and Avenger, all in Atlantic gray over white. The Dauntless was the first of that batch. They blend right in with the late war Coastal Command.
