Good news! My 6th grade math teacher was wrong and I am capable of learning things. Today I learned how to take detail picture of models that actually show detail.

Gloss tint coat on whole sub. Makes the limber holes in the side black but not a huge contrast like paint would. Gives the rest a nice blotchy look.
Next is a flat coat to subdue it all.

Amazing work!

Nice. Is that Vallejo paint?

Tamiya acrylic upper with Model Master acrylic lower. Deck is Testers little bottle enamel.
The black gloss weathering coat is Future Floor Coating mixed with dollar store black acrylic "artist" watercolour. There is also some Citadel "Agrax Earthshade" figure was used on the deck and lower hull to darken and give blotchy areas to the browns and reds.

I do use some limited Vallejo paints but pretty much just for rust and grime. They will actually be the last step after I dull coat the whole thing.

Aircraft complete with flat coat and almost microscopic paint chipping and staining.
The grey paint on the pontoons and struts of the folded version looks bad in the picture but when you consider that the the whole thing could sit on a dime then you can envision that in real life it just looks like a soft edge instead of jagged blobs.

Sweet. Did you paint the circles, or are those decals?

Decals. With the right stuff you can make even the worst decals look painted on.

Wow. That's pretty cool.

Done!
About 20 hours on the bench since Friday.
Basic out of the box build so no rails. I may add them later but since the intent of this kit was just to be a side model to my planned diorama I may just not worry about it.
Picture overload time!
Keep in mind that aircraft on the catapult is the size of a quarter so you can figure the size of some of the parts.

@Ultrmaroon or anybody that knows the Liberty ship in San Francisco here is the sub and that ship in the same scale!

Rocket Bunny V1 kit getting some Honda Phoenix Yellow. This is a fully opening 1/18 Autoart diecast metal model, and I'll be slapping a 2JZ into it probably.

Used adhesive putty to temporarily attach panels to the body for a proper paint match.

Do they have a stock 2017 version? I have considered jumping into the 1/16 realm but never really saw one I wanted.
