Rick Abramson Posted December 9 Author #2 Posted December 9 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.
