Thank you for the tip Silver. Who makes the Yorktown which you built? That carrier has a lot of history and it would be neat to build a model of it.

Silver,

So you do a lot of scratch building then? Where do you get the plans for them? Is their a ship magazine such as for armor and aircraft?

Thanks for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated!

I tried to mask the cockpit with Micro Mask, then first primed with black and then with white. After that I handpainted the other colours. 

When you prime black first the cockpit look so much more realistic.

Even as I had some problems with paint loosening (due to bad primer in to thick layers, I think), the result is promesing.
