    Baker, the funnel is actually leaning out so the ship's exhaust gases do not interfere with flight operations especially for the aircraft landing on the flight deck from astern.

    is the paint oil based or water based? can try the warm water but doubt it will work. could use another piece of tape sticky side down to try to remove the tape residue.

    if it is concerning the Alaska then is to late as it should have been wash, dried & sun baked before starting the model.
  20. ddp
    are you removing some of the paint where the parts are to be glued onto the deck?

    i think your black waterline is too high as should be below the reinforcing hull strake not above it according to the US Navy's Booklet of General Plans of that class i have saved on my computer.
  22. ddp
    i have plans for 1958 & 1967, which do you want? will need your email to send them.
  23. ddp
    the bofor mounts will be the same colors as the surrounding camouflage both vertical & horizontal.
  24. ddp
    the model is riding to low which means the model is to heavy. even the red part of the hull is to high as the waterline should be just above the prop not as high as yours, even the plan's author's model is riding higher then yours. the plans i linked before shows all that info.
  25. ddp
    i think your model has to much weight causing it to ride low so that even on calm water, the wave action is almost getting into the bow area when compared to this link. https://www.navsource.net/archives/03/0305307.jpg https://www.navsource.net/archives/03/053.htm

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.
