Another simple and cheap way would be to use what I did on my Enchantress

I think Oliver was going by the plan set that was in the kit.. I don't think he got his hands on a copy of "The Kellys"
its a little on the pricy side.

Yes I was wondering the same thing DickyD. I hope nothing is amiss.

By the way your Javelin is looking very good on the water. Most realistic. :)

Kurt,

Great suggestions!  Thank you!
I'll look for the satin finishes in the states.

Have a nice day!
Oliver

Oliver,

I use this: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/gb/model-air-gb.html (the satin varnish of them) or the varnish of Golden: http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/varnish
And I also "love" to clean out the airbrush after 2hours of airbrushing...
But that is the most important part when using an airbrush (I ease it up with an ultrasonic cleaner)

The red-brown primer i also use for the hull.

Before I start with painting the models I coat everything in a base grey auto primer.  With this primer, all the guidelines are already covered and everything has the same colour.  Here you can already spot some faults that weren't visible on the plastic, so take your time to clean everything up.
Then I coat everything in the correct colour.

Regards
Kurt

Robin,

I second what Tommy said.  I'm inspired!  I'm going to paint my Kelly as close as possible to yours Robin!  I just love that look!

I'm really sorry for not updating my build thread.  Let me see what I can come up with this week.

It's been really busy at work though  I have been building.  I'm working on the torpedo tubes.  They have a lot of flash and everyday I work a few minutes to clean those up.  Progress is slow, but enjoyable.

Take care everyone and again, my apologies. 
Oliver

Hi Tom,
The Deans Marine kit info specified Red Oxide. I used Humbrol 100 (matt Red Brown) as a close match. Used the same paint on the quarterdeck. Most of the other deck surfaces were painted Humbrol 62 (matt leather) as specified by DM except the iron deck that being Humbrol metallic 53 (gunmetal).
