Like what I've said in Armorama.... she's my big sister. As what they refer to us in our office.... we're The wonder twins of Fluor "Always staring at the sky, wondering". And aside from being her smaller twin brother, I guess I'm also her free ride to UP during our BAC meets. So now you can stop wondering Master Vader and the rest of the "wonderers" in this thread.

QUOTE: Originally posted by mang ernie hi rod the Enterprise had catapults since 1943 i'm not sure if they're Mk 3 or 4s, with regards to the tamiya kit, the enterprise is a generic yorktown class which means you can build it anyway you like except "as is" if you want accuracy, modifications will have to be made mostly on the AA arrangements, radars and yes, 2 catapults slightly pitched and not in parallel and her later version she received torpedo blisters, these are bulges on both sides of her hull. hmmm, in 1943 the Enterprise was painted in standard measure overall navy grey untill in mid 1944 when it was painted in cammouflage measure 33, <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=Design&v=56">Design</a> 4ab (light grey,med. grey, blue grey) 4ab denotes the cammo pattern. i'm still browsing through my references on the pattern and anything related to her. you can check out "naval historical center.com" for more info. hope this helps. mang ernie mang ernie sorry, work again,again thanks for the tips. i never imagined my enterprise will need much work , i'll keep you posted on my progress , i hope you'll bare with me, more questions to come. rod Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, June 10, 2004 11:59 AM QUOTE: Originally posted by jepot Jepot Aye,aye Sir! mang ernie talk about fast- Digs was at my <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=office&v=56">office</a> last night up to around 1130pm; and i had to wake up at 2am and go straight to work till this afternoon!

QUOTE: Originally posted by BigMan QUOTE: So here goes.... how do you do a canopy in 1:72.... errr... I mean how do you mask/paint it? -Lipton- Jeepney, 3M Magic Tape? Oh yeah.... I'll try that on my next model ReggieF Yup, Parafilm M really works like a charm! Lipton I have a suggestion on canopy painting that wont involve masking and cutting off masks using xacto knife.... do you have a small sheet of clear decal? or a decal you wont be using anymore? paint the decal using the exterior color of the kit. for the P-40 this would be olive drab. use airbrush with very light applications so as not to 'moisten' the decal. then cut the decal into strips whose width is equal to the width of the frames of the canopy. then apply like an ordinary decal over the canopy frames. let dry. easy, isnt it?? :D] however, i think this is applicable to canopies with 'greenhouse' frames only. havent tried it yet to 'blown' or 'bubble' canopies (ex F-16, F-15 or bubbletop P-47) since these are easier to mask. another suggestion: it would be better if you use clear decal because you can paint the interior color first (zinc-chromate green for the P-40), then overspray with the exterior color once dry. after applying the decal on the canopy, you have an added bonus: it will seems that even the frames inside the canopy are 'painted' with the interior color! actually, you can use this technique when masking the canopy: paint the interior color first, then paint the exterior color thereafter. for Parafilm M, cut of a small piece (about 1/2 the area of the canopy) then stretch it out. apply over the canopy, cut out areas to be painted then paint. remove by applying fresh masking tape over the Parafilm M, then remove quickly. very neat results and no paint seepage. hope this helps! bigman I'll try that too Jun

QUOTE: Originally posted by jmfrancisco Wow I didnt know 3M works, this is available in National Bookstore right? I used tamiya tape but yes its kinda thick. I'm also not very good at handling the x-acto blade so my cut goes in different directions. Worst, panel lines in the canopy for this scale is so hard to see when taped. Guess I'll take your suggestion and try the 3M thing (on my next model). Gonna drop by at NBS after office. Thank you very much for the alternative. Good day! -Lipton-
