CV-9 USS Essex
Finally adding decals!
Almost two months since I finished painting the tiny planes…
Decalling is now in full progress…
Painting the planes
I started painting the planes last week, but then a two-day power outage here in Quebec put a damper on painting the planes and posting the results…
Step 1
Washing with dishwashing soap…
Step 2
Drying stage…
The plane fuselages were previously filed, a step I forgot the first time when I painted the Enterprise planes.
Step 3
Painting a base coat with intermediate blue acrylic paint…
Step 4
Painting the underside with white acrylic paint…
Step 5
Painting the topside with sea blue acrylic paint…
Next step?
Decals!
