CV-6 The Boats 

Thank you very much Ralph, it is really appreciated 😊

Thank you very much Jeremy, I appreciate it :-)

Thank you David 😊

Kind of yeah.. it felt like something else than the main build, and a quicker “sense of accomplishment” 😉 Stay safe Bren!

Thanks Jeff 😊 They are a great addition to the ship for sure 😁

@NorwegianModellingBench what you could do to not block view into the hanger deck is have some boats in a partially lowered positions?

@@jefffranckowiak8911 That is of course an option. I am happy with the trade off that I have come to now. I think it will look great when the model is complete.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Paul 😊

Thanks Charles! You are probably 100% correct that they paid a lot of attention to maintenance, but I do think they prioritized fighting the enemy before painting ;-) Also keep in mind that the videos are very close up to the subject, so the rust might seem more exaggerated than it actually is, and I think it gives the model a bit more depth. So it is to my liking, and not necessarily historically accurate.

No doubt, the Pontos kit!

Thanks! I used an earth brown color from AK.

Thanks for the info. Looks great.

Tusen takk Kent! Veldig hyggelig å høre at du setter pris på innholdet. Den jeg har brukt er 5-N, og er ganske mørk, men lysere enn det ser ut som på videoene. Jeg har sett at det er mye debatt om når Arizona fikk de ulike measurene, så det blir kanskje mer opp til deg og hva du foretrekker. Jeg har ofte brukt denne som henvisning: www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/pages/united-states-navy-colour-scheme Jeg tenker som så; det er ditt skip, det skal neppe på et museum, så gjør det du ønsker. Jeg valgte 5-N akkurat fordi jeg ikke ville ha nok et grått krigsskip og ihht kildene jeg brukte så var CV-6 mest sannsynlig det i des '42. Lykke til!

Tack för den länken Kenneth! Den visar ju att det kunde ha varit 5-S (om hon nu målades om). Jag har sett en färgbild tagen efter 1941 där man klart kan se en blå ton på skrotet.
