Probably would have been quicker to fire up the actual Texas to go retrieve them for you

This sucks!
After spraying on a substantial amount of a satin varnish. I put the tape to mast for the waterline and it pulled off the paint. So I repainted and put a substantial amount of floor gloss and still the paint peeled off.

Any suggestions?

That paint chip kinda looks like a cat laying down.

I think I'll try this; I painted a black primer tomorrow I shoot a black coat which I think (hope) it won't peal the black off. I'm going to tape off the waterline and touch-up around the hull.

I tried for as much detail on the recon plane like weathering and chipping paint, and panel lines

While I wait for the final parts I'll just display her for now, with the german sub in tow.

Even without the final parts it looks great.

I can only hope to achieve the level of detail and precision when I do my 1/350 Missouri.
Very nice Gary. Outstanding build
