For primer, I use the Tamiya Surface Primer, item no. 87042. It is fabulous. For masking I use the 3M blue, medium adhesive. Except for the primer, the model is entirely airbrushed. Normally, Trucolor does not need to be thinned. If it does, I cut it with lacquer thinner. Glad you like the model. She took 3rd place at a model ship conference. I recently finished the Trumpeter 1:350 USS Saratoga and used the Trucolor USN paints. The gray for the hull and mahogany for the flight deck is 100% on!

Here is another shot of her under construction; positioning the superstructure and how I have the model displayed.

John: Guess I was waiting for my ship to come in

Don: Here are some shots of her under construction. The kit had 550 parts and took a month to build. I used 13' of masking and 3oz of paint.

Hard to believe its almost a year since the 2016 convention in New London,CT. I was more than honored that my very first entry, the Revell 1/400 QM2 took 3rd Place in powered vessels. It was an honor and thrill I never expected!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
