How to Paint WWII US Navy Late Aircraft SOLUTION BOOK

What the publication is about

This guide from the SOLUTION BOOK range deals with painting the carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy from the later part of the Second World War. It therefore concentrates on the part of a build a finished model is judged by most: the road from the base coat to the final treatment of the surface.

Why the late machines are different

Toward the end of the war naval aircraft carried dark blue finishes, and those behave differently on a model than light schemes. A large unbroken area with no division forces you to work with shading, otherwise the model reads as a piece of dark plastic. On top of that comes the wear of a carrier machine: an upper surface faded by the sun, boot wear at the wing root, traces of exhaust gases and scuffed places around the access panels.

Who it is for

It suits a modeler who can already assemble a kit and wants to move on in painting, and an experienced builder too, as a comparison of his own procedure with someone else's. The publication is built as a set of instructions, so it can be followed directly while working on a model and individual steps can be revisited.
