Glad to see you're getting your modeling mojo back, OC. Sorry to read of your pet's unexpected death. Take some time to mourn. Even though it's a pet, it's still a part of the family. -

Neat looking kit. Have fun with the RC. 😁 -
Wefalck is correct about not modeling the sleepers/ties, since they are unseen. if railcars are rolled out onto a pier, I'd expect a series of pilings under the dock where the rails run. Pictures of the railroad docks in the New York harbor area clearly shows this, especially in more recent years with the wholesale abandonment of the rail marine facilities.. There is a comprehensive website where you can climb into the proverbial rabbit hole. http://members.trainweb.com/bedt/IndustrialLocos.html

Ah, the magnificent "HMS Hood". John, an excellent source of information is here at: http://www.hmshood.org.uk/ It has extensive modeling info.

I think I get what you're saying. You need to leave a flange-way for the wheel flanges. You may have to fiddle with the thickness of the boards to permit cars to roll out onto your dock. You really only need to fill that in if you're planning to drive vehicles onto your dock. I'd put some kind of wheel stop on the end of each rail, too.
-
Leave the base of the rail as is. If you took it off a real rail, the rail could roll out from under the railcar wheel.

Nicely done with this older kit. She's a beauty.👍

The hand truck struck me as one of the "urban outdoors-men", but the AK puts that out the window. Like Denis says, a good start for a diorama.

Had an uncle on Mom's side of the family who I wasn't sure what he did, but he always drove big, new cars. Buicks, primarily. He must have liked me because he let me borrow one to haul my date and several other frat brothers and dates into NYC for a formal affair at the Waldorf. What a Yank tank.

Gotta go thru their sectional centers. Of course, during COVID, I had a package come up from Savannah,GA to Greenville, SC. Should have come up US 25 to Hendersonville, but instead got 6 day vacation (?) in Durham, NC at the other end of the state.of NC. 🙄

I had a buddy who did the panels is various shades and masked them with Post-It notes, sticky edge toward the panel. He was an IPMS guy and his planes look beautiful with the multi-shaded panels. -

The blue covered nicely. -
I'm in, too.

Coming along nicely, Rob. Your "distressing" of the engine panels came out great.👍
-
Well done, James. 👍

He's turned out nicely Jack. 👍 Waiting for Vadim. I have an app named Hobby Color Converter on my Android phone. It's used to give you color equivalences for hobby paints. If instructions give you Fed Spec colors or Gunze colors, you can look up many other equivalent paints in other lines. The other feature for me is the hobby news portion. It gives you new releases for a/c, armor, auto, figures, fantasy figures (like Ianis), Model Shipwrights, model railroading and some more in-depth reviews. The shipwrights and railroad announcements are pretty thin, but since this is from the Kit Maker website, their website coverage in these areas is kind of minimal. I check in every other day or so to see what's new on the site.

James, your chipping looks pretty good. Our Phantoms took a beating on the canopy rails, since they were convenient for a myriad of tasks, by we aircrew and especially the maintainers. The cockpit floors were generally the underlying metal colors as were the canopy rails. Areas around the cannon feed systems should be beat up by the loaders, although the invasion stripes would :freshen up" that area. Keep up the good work. 👍

Hear! Hear!

Yes, the new Airfix would be a very good choice. 😁

Nicely done. She looks fast.👍

Sheesh, I remember so many of the earlier kits with the gaps and dihedral issues. Very nice save with the thin strips and Mr Surfacer products. 👍 -
Very nice looking M.B. seat. 👍

Hmm, oil field pump or whirly bird? Will the pump be automated or static? Automation would be cool, but it's your build, your choice.
