I just received a 1/48 Essex Class Carrier deck made by Eduard. I must say the detail is excellent[8D] The problem I have is how am I going to go about painting it so that it resembles a real carrier deck instead of just a grey piece of plastic[:(] I don’t see how I can paint the individual little black things on the grey deck. There is also the outline of the elevator but as I rember from the Randolph, an Essex Class carrier, with the exception of warning paint lines it was the same color as the deck. Would dry brushing do anything[?] Help Please[:D]

It depends on the theater and lighting of that particular part of the world…
Sometimes it will be a dull grey gray… or sometimes it will be a light light white greyish…
if in Middle east…
dude don’t worry about the color, just worry about it looking realistic
I had a friend from Texas who served on a carrier deck who said that he went through a pair of boots every 2 days, because of the heat… they melted to the deck… plus… i have seen pictures of the pyramids in egypt ok, now imagine this on a FLAT deck
beautiful sun going down, nice REDISH pinkish deck… [8D]
The reason they looked the same was you are not taking in to account the fact that there is a dimension of color… the deck will look grey because it is the dominating factor…, I f i am wrong then i am wrong but i think i am right… [:I]
