Commander: Heh, you think 1:144 planes are small? Try 1:350th planes, hehehe

Masking tape is one of the most important tools I have for my modeling. I do the really small WWI/II planes, and with planes that small, you really notice when something is out of alignment. Masking tape tfw!

*bump*In case anyone missed the replies before it got buried.

Kingkosmo: Use masking tape! Or scotchtape. Heck, any tape! make sure the edges are firmly flat. Paint large areas first with a big brush (but not too big!) or airbrush it, then paint the smaller details by hand.

hey nice work Im myself making battleship bismarck :) maybe i post pics when ready but
do you use something to block that the paint wont go to wrong places where it shouldnt go because myself my hands are shaking so freaking much so i cant make good stuff :D

Hey, thanks for all the comments guys!

Kevin: No, that is an Essex-class carrier.

Kit prices: Obviously, the bigger and more detailed the more expensive it is. Revell kits are generally cheap and lack detail, except for their newer offerings, such as the Type viic U-boot they have in 1/72 scale.

Some web model vendors are on the frontpage of Modelwarships.com and you can get a fairly good price comparison from that.

Galen: I'm betting the Missouri and Arizona are made by Revell, hmm?

Sailorman: Looking good! When you're done, can you send them in to [email protected] ? That'll be awesome.

Almighty: If you need any help, you'll know where to go!
