    yes on the white line along the deck edge. go with deck grey as i think dark grey would appear almost black in color.

    do a notch on the top of the vertical post not on the side & no notch on the horizontal bar so not to weaken it even with the angled supports added to it. if you have access to a small round file to be used after you roughly carve the notch with a knife.

    good idea as i see the orange peel effect on the small right panel & on the flight deck itself.

    i have used oven cleaner a few times with pretty good success. what are you using to repaint the panels with, brush, rattle can or airbrush?

    legit in what way?

    go thru this link https://www.navsource.org/archives/10/11/11idx.htm to see if can see any good color shots of the flight deck.

    watch this video to put your mind at ease. HMCS Bonaventure - The Pride of Canada’s Fleet

    you need to cleanup the top of the starboard elevator hanger opening if you haven't already. the crane base has an overhang on it as you can see a shadow caused by the overhang in the photograph. can you post that photograph again horizontally instead of vertical without the red arrows?

    Vertical Surfaces Sea Blue 5-S paint applied without pattern to all vertical surfaces including mast and funnel tops. Horizontal Surfaces Deck Blue 20-B paint. On submarines and aircraft carriers, wooden decks were stained to a color corresponding to Deck Blue 20-B. Canvas Covers Stained to a color corresponding to Deck Blue 20-B. http://www.cv6.org/ship/camo-radar.htm

    the lower bow needs to be more curved as per attachment.

    do the hanger deck in gray with the side walls & i think the ceiling in aluminum. the top 6 to 12' of the elevator wells are in black but confirm that in the links i posted. why did you leave the radars on the directors when not on til later in the war but definitely not at the Midway battle?

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.
