Medium CA gel (Zap a Gap), as well as the extra thick gel kind which is useful for larger pieces in awkward positions.
Anyways I'm sone weathering / painting the Tuscaloosa for now. I'll work on the rigging tomorrow I think. I might get some 1/700 figures to to place around the decks. I also have to place a few flags on it.
The only thing I have left to paint is the seaplane. I only completed one of them as the wing broke off the other one onto my floor, and it's now lost to the carpet. Anyone have any idea what color these early USN floatplanes were painted? I know it's some sort of light blue USN color but I need some better idea of what colors to mix it from.
I also ordered Rayon cotton balls instead of using standard natural ones, as the natural ones aren't as good for making wave crests or so I've read.
