May try putting an "old/used" nylon stocking over the exhaust duct to trap any particles. Several train buds do that, spraying acrylics.

B-25J Mitchell by GrandpaPhil - Revell 1/48 - Finished

I'm in Phil. I've been a fan of this medium bomber. -
Yeah, Dennis, AHM went the way of the bison, but some of the cars are now sold by other companies. The brake wheel is easy to find in a good selection of detailing parts. Guess you even got some blocking for the tank load. May want to cut some stripwood to replace the plastic chocks, then tie the tank down with fine chain (A-Line 40 links per inch, pre-blackened). Have fun with that one. Wright Flyer #1, what a great find. 👍

Great airbrush, that H&S. Practice with spraying water onto a surface to get the feel of operating the brush. Watch some of the videos Ron T posted in this forum: You're going to like using the brush.

Don't try to do them all at once. Take breaks. Repetitious builds are hard because you keep doing the same thing over and over. I've build N and Z scale structures with multiple multi-part windows. Very tedious.

Gives you a great appreciation for the conversion process undertaken by the Navy to build a usable aircraft carrier. The early tests with flying off decks fore and aft were oddities. This was one of the first truly functional ships.

They've been used in some port cities for water tours of the port. Interesting build, all loaded out.

That's a real shame, Paul. Hope you don't give up on doing more plastic ships.

USS Tenacity looks like a Measure 12 Modified scheme. Here's the page on the Ship Camouflage website: https://shipcamouflage.com/measure_12_modified.htm It was an early war scheme, used on a number of USN ships.

Nice lineup, Chris. There is a cable/satellite TV channel here in the US called RFD-TV. It has several shows on a lot of this stuff. -
Gentlemen, that's due to TMB - too many birthdays. My eyesight was very sharp up until age 42-43, then slid down hill slowly. Glasses helped me keep up. Last year, at age 72, the growing cataracts got bad enough to require surgery. Now, my distance vision needs no assistance; however, I do need readers/optivisor for closeup work. I think that's fairly typical. I attempted some 1/700 PE, but it's been a while. I think I'll work in bigger scales, mostly for the manual dexterity rather than the visual issues.

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.
