If you are concerned about it Smore the very bottom of the pontoons would be the same color as the bottom of the plane and it shows in the pic look at the forward part of the back pontoon and the piece jutting out the bottom of the front pontoon at the rear.Camo.

I think the weathering/highlights look just fine.A story I was painting a Ki-45 Nick 1/48 pale green/darker blotches with the dark blotches done by brush.I did 1/2 of the plane about 1 1/2 hrs of work put it down and came back later the next day actually.I started repainting and crap the blotches were turning out different and the pattern was off??It's all a creative process and one cannot always tap the mood from the day before it was the 2nd time this occurred now I paint in one sitting.Keep that in mind and the formula you used if you walk away keep the paint with the kit. Kevin I know this from a long ways back but just something I have learned.Now back to pg6 got lots of catching up.

If you notice Kopp is "black basing" with the airbrush for shadow effects(even 1/350 ) to give depth/character to the individual pieces which I have never consider for ships?I have used the technique on some 1/32 A/C mainly a B25.We all could learn a bit from Kopp. As to the glue I have and recommend the Gator glue http://www.gatorsmask.com/paintmask.html and you will notice he has mask for ships!I thought at one point he did some paints but he's good to deal with.If you think you may want to continue in the plastic medium and PE I P/U from http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=77_79 some of the folders I have used abit on the B-25 but will come in handy when I get back to the Eugen.A destroyer is a good learning curve to work with.

Well I think most of the guys would say seize it will look more professional but d#@* if that would be a bit of work and good system for repetition/tools needed.I am thinking off the bat a small board @45' angle with small holes drilled(2) in it(smaller than deadeyes shaft) good lighting tweezers and tightbond(diluted) for the seize string.Just my first thoughts have not done seizes before if I did it was years ago. Kevin Oh hey that long shot of the deck looks bad ***

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.
