USS Langley by Rick Abramson - Trumpeter - 1:350 - Plastic

[Rick Abramson]

Assembly process for the Trumpeter 1/350 USS Langley, CV-1. The US Navy's first aircraft carrier. The Langley was converted to an aircraft carrier from the US Navy's collier USS Jupiter.

I airbrushed the entire model using TruColor paints' US Navy colors and also drilled out all of the portholes. The model came with nicely done photo etched parts. The girders supporting the flight deck are solid plastic castings with raised girder details. To create the "illusion" of open girders, I painted the girders gray, then painted them flat black. After the black had dried, I then took a pencil eraser and removed the black paint from the raised girder detail leaving what would be the open areas black.
