But definetly very Fun! As for my next build, it will probably be the Missouri just because I already have it ( i just have to spend the $300 for all the pontos for it) I’m struggling between blue deck or teak deck. The yorktown would be my perfered next build in a perfect world. Also I just bought a 1/35 isreali tank. So that might be going on the side. What time period will your Missouri be? I'm working on 1/350 USS Alaska which had her shakedown cruises with the Mo. I struggled with selection of proper colors. Wikipedia has a site with all the Navy colors and when they were used.

semorebutts Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share #1126 Posted January 29, 2019 I started on the two planes today. I’m not sure yet but I might display both planes with wings folded instead of just one. Anywho, I figured I would start by cutting everything out. next I had to remove the cockpit area to make room for the new cockpit. with that done I started on the first planes wings. Mark it, cut it and sand it. Jack12477, ccoyle, BenF89 and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semorebutts Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share #1132 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Thanks Popeye! Hey guys I have a question. Im starting to think about decals. For the arados, flags etc. I just heard of dry transfer. I have 2 sets of decals. MK1 decals and Trumpeter decals. I have no idea if they are dry transfer decals or waterslide decals. Is there a way to tell what I have? Edited January 30, 2019 by semorebutts Old Collingwood, CDW, Jack12477 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack12477 Posted January 30, 2019 Share #1133 Posted January 30, 2019 Can't speak to the MK1 but the Trumpeter are most definitely waterslide decals. I'm not familiar with anyone who includes dry transfer in a kit but I could be wrong. Most dry transfer I've seen are after-market decals. semorebutts, CDW, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semorebutts Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share #1134 Posted January 30, 2019 Thank you! Also Flory does somthing with aluminum foil for the flags they look amazing. If I can figure out what hes doing I will Attempt it. Theres also fabric flags. lmagna, CDW, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canute Posted January 30, 2019 Share #1135 Posted January 30, 2019 I think they apply them to the foil to allow you to make the flags ripple in the wind. Probably need a flexible paint, like the stuff the RC guys use, since you want the paint to stay applied. I'd use a light gray color as a base, especially under red or yellow colors. popeye the sailor, lmagna, CDW and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semorebutts Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share #1136 Posted January 30, 2019 Well hes doing somthing here with the decals and white glue. Is he just glueing them to the foil without watersliding?with the backing and all? Is he then cutting them out and glueing the 2 sides together? Wouldnt that be very thick and out of scale? I have so many questions. I have to figure this out. Just look at that result! Looks amazing!

popeye the sailor Posted January 31, 2019 Share #1138 Posted January 31, 2019 the foil might not add that much to the thickness...but it does make them easier to shape regarding the decals.......your kit would specify if they are water slide or dry transfer.......but Jack is correct. I haven't done a kit with dry transfers. I've read up on them, and saw a video in you tube. they seem like a crap shoot.....if you don't get them right the first time ................😭 Canute, semorebutts, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

mtaylor Posted January 31, 2019 Share #1139 Posted January 31, 2019 If you use the fabric flags, bend aluminum foil to the shape of the "ripple" and then use diluted white glue (50-50) and soak the flag, stick it down to the foil and let it dry. It should hold the ripple when it comes off. I used that on my Constellation and my Vasa.
