I'm taking a break from armor building and have just begun Revell's 1/72 Type VII C U-boat. I bought the Nautilus wood deck and I was wondering: if I apllied a couple of enamel washes to the deck, could I then paint it in a dark grey to give it that creosote look. I have read that these boats may not have even had wood decks so I'd like to make it look as metallic as possible without warping the wood.
Also, when I assembled the two pieces of the deck, I noticed a small gap on both sides. I have seen other build projects with this same issue. Any thoughts on fillers?
Thanks.
Alex
