I have finished construction of my first 2 ships HMS Hood and HMS Vicotorious from the Vintage classics range. From this I have a few questions to the more experienced ship builders on here what paint colour best matches the hull colour of the Victorious as I feel the recommended colour is to light? Any tips for line painting on the hulls I have tried lining the hull with masking tape to give me a straight line however I have failed to achieve this. Any pointers on how to get the deck to stay level in the hull once you start placing the superstructure and upper deck works on to the ship? The builds where enjoyable just trying to learn to improve my modelling skills. /media/tinymce_upload/9a9c471a5096c10dfacb76aacd694bdb.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/03830352dd6d928695bdee28712905ff.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/744104125796ea3caf71baabc4686192.jpg

Many Thanks for the information great build hopefully mine turns out alright. Many thanks for the information Tumbling Dice seem to have what I am after.

Hi all I appreciate that this forum thread is a little bit old. Great build in the pictures it had me thinking as I'm about to start a 1/600 version of HMS Victorious. The question is where can i get more aircraft to supplement the airgroup that comes in the kit? I have found WW2 era aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm and ones for the USN but nothing for the era of the 1950s/60s Fleet Air Arm. Any help would be great to this novice shipbuilder.
