USS Independance 1:350th scale

Hi All, As the title says, i need some help on how to paint Aluminium Oxide, i have a 1:350 Ship that requires painting.... So any help would be greatly appreciated. MB

Sorry that was just a test of my new camera... didn't know where else to put it....

Just a quick attempt... what do the resident experts think?.......

Going to have a go methinks.... I've got 3 valkyries and 1 vendetta to build... then need to spend a small fortune at forgeworld.... Watch this space.

Cheers Mike, That can be my back up plan. Thanks for the info. Mat

Hi all, I need to find the following colours... Deck Blue 20-B 5-N Navy Gray 5-H Haze Gray To do the USS Missouri (1945) in Measure 22 camo. I have checked with WEM and all three are out of stock.... so any other good numbers? I would prefer enamels, but any help is appreciated. Cheers Mat

300mm X 180mm X 36mm are the dimensions... not too sure on the volume though... everytime i try to calculate it, the plugin has a heart attack...

This is the sort of thing i was looking to get printed....

Hi All... Just made the forray into CAD, and was wondering if there is any cheap 3D Printing services out there..... I don't really want to fork out over £2k for my own printer. Many thanks Mat.

Could i join please..... Just need to decide, either a 1:32 Bearcat or 1:32 Typhoon or 1:48 Tornado or......... A 1:32 F9F-5 Panther Mat EDIT: I'm stuuupid.. Plus i need to check history before selecting a model.. Which i now have done, and the Blue Angels did use the F9F-5 (briefly after their reformation in late 1951)

Hi all, This is my first modelling effort in well over a year.. mostly due to work getting in the way. But anyway, built with a few added extras, replacement spinner and U/C legs and photo-etch in the cockpit (which is pointless after the canopy is in place).... Sorry for the pictures (had to take them on my phone) Any comments, helps or pointers well received.. Cheers Mat

It's good to know that there is a small amount of common sensebeing used on Typhoon.... And which office would that be? And you are from my old stomping grounds!!!! Mat

Link 16? F*#kin nightmare!!!! Lol

Correct.. we still call it DASS (well thats what we call it when it works.. i cant repeat what we normally call it here) There are lots of stupid abbreviations that Typhoon uses that there is really no need for as the RAF has something similar already in use!!

Well HEA is what we as engineers call it, and the 'master race' call it the same. Thats from a first line perspective though...don't really know what industry has ordained to call it. Mat.

Just to note it's called HEA. Mat.

Hi all The bits on the helmet are vents for the ECS. it helps keep the helmet cool. Mat.

Time to get mixing.... thanks for all the advice.

Thanks all... I need a good colour to paint the engine... thats what the grey/blue is for. The overall aircraft is going to be yellow. Cheers mat.

Cheers for the info... Time to root through the paint collection.

Hi all, Just need some help with paint numbers.. I'm after H74 (mr Color) to Humbrol. It's a Grey Blue for an engine. Also, H27 (Mr Color) to Humbrol. Interior green for a F8F-1 (1950's era) Cheers in advance Mat

Just a couple of questions.... 1) Where From? 2) How Much? Cheers Mat
