So my next big build for 2022 will be the USS Thetis Bay with a full work up. I found this image on the internets and wondered if I could replicate this point in time, a bunch of worn out aircraft being retuned to the US for overhauls. Thetis bay was Casablanca class carrier and full plans and colour schemes are all available online free of charge. I will of course add them to this log with references.

I giver her a dark yellow wash and it works! Blends it very nicely and makes it look like dirty canvas. What a fluke!

Painting pretty much done, weathering next. Again, I’m making this up as I go along, how the hell does one weather a blimp!

My limited reading and the photos in b&w really do show very far panels on top, so a black overspray seems to work OK

So this is the look I’m going for, apparently the tops of them were not painted (or less paint) to allow Leaked helium to escape

I’m constantly stripping and cleaning my airbrush, and I do like their paints, which I think with Tamiya lacquer thinner. Acrylics dry the top very quickly so I also have a cotton bud dipped in clean thinner to while the tip regularly.

So started to paint the blimp, so many panels, and so much more sanding needed, big seams and a lot sine shown up

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.
