Doing some prototype testing. Thought I’d start with the two biggest aircraft and see how the basing and painting would go.
I think future aircraft will be on sightly shorter stands — still thinking about that though!

Tsk tsk.. some molding lines still evident on the destroyer. (Much too close-up to be forgiving..) probably not such a big deal with your painting style, but using washes they would show up badly. And yes, I would use shorter stands for the A/C

Yeah – the Japanese ships did require a fair bit of clean up – however not being short sighted like you but rather long sighted, when I stand across the other side of the room to look at the ships I say “mould lines? What mould lines?” 😛
I think shortening their height will make them a little more stable too. I’m actually thinking of 2cm stand height for helos and 4 cm for aeroplanes and maybe just a little higher for patrol aircraft – Orion, Neptune, the Badger and the Il-38 … just thinking at the moment mind 🙂
Still not sure what to do with then missiles yet.
