Make 1:1 scale wood boats, learn boat building

Midwest Products, is the company that supplies , cut balsa, metal , and wood plane and of most interest 1 inch to a foot scale small boats. This is a great way to learn something of boat construction , as the kits are cut into the parts that a traditional boat builder would cut or form. Its at least a good scale exercise and my one day this type of model can be used in airplane kits?

Revell P-47d-30 Thunderbolt, learning to research

I have a German Revell model from 2001 or so, 1/72, I wanted to find out what paints are suggested. Having just discovered Alclad Metal paints , I was very interested in planning for the mostly exposed metal of the this P-47. I had been thing of doing a metalized painted in the first place, but did not know a product. Here are some of the links I found , for the first P-47d and any paint information for that model. The discovery of Alclad paints will be great for the increased realism for any models I made with non-painted metal.
