What a difference a coat of primer makes!  Nice even coat and you can tell you have spent the time with shaping of the hull, not a sigle plank shows, you can't even see it is wood. Top work, I wish I had that patience and skill with wood builds.

Hi Guys, Sorry for the delay in update. I bought vallejo model air "hull Red" sprayed it and found it more brown, look at pic 1.. So after few days in between work , worked out what cross reference I needed from Rn19. I bought Model masters crimson red. So much more like red oxide now.
This was my first time airbrushing Enamel and thought it quite eash. Only problem i have is Overspray in areas. If i flat it down it gets a sheen. Should I get an Acrylic(Alcad Flat Laquer or Vallejo Flat) and give it a go over them flat it and another coat.. Please advise. Thanks Chris...magpie1832 attached the following image(s): On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Cheers guys, Thanks for the nice comments and help with my dilemma. Here I have fitted the rear deck and filled and sanded. Looks more like a ship now than a lump of wood.Cheers....magpie1832 attached the following image(s): On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Hi all, Today I have installed the second deck and fitted the brass decking plates. They've had a white undercoat. Instructions say paint before fit but I thought I'd get a better finish painting on.. Thanks Chris.magpie1832 attached the following image(s): On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
