    Very cool Ken. Amazing technology development since then...

    Here's your inspiration to build the Dauntless as promised Mike. I just looked, there are nine listings for the kit on eBay, many with pretty good prices. Go for it!

    Perfect! Put the Sniper on the starboard side and the HTS on the port side of the intake. They're both in that set. You can then use the GBU-31's or 38's in that set as well.
  21. jwvolz
    Ken, Yes, but they are capable of a lot more now, including more advanced laser functions. For example the Sniper also has a FLIR, digital data recorder, and HDTV with video downlink for both targeting and surveillance.

    Nice work Mike! You certainly were a glutton for punishment with both the subject and scale for your first efforts! If you want a great yellow wings subject, try to track down on eBay an AM SBD-1 Dauntless. One of their nicest kits and it looks great in that paint scheme. My finished one is somewhere in my attic. I'll try to find it and get a picture.

    In that case just put the 28 on the starboard side. The HTS is much smaller in diameter.
  26. jwvolz
    In general the Block 50's usually seem to have the HTS mounted even when equipped with Litening/Sniper, but you don't have one in that kit I take it, since it is the Block 25/32 kit. Do you have the Sniper pod? The rest of the ordnance Tamiya gives you is fine with the Sniper pod. Just follow their directions as to which pylons.

    I found this line in the reply to Glenn a little up thread about the Diana kit hilarious. Take them to court, in China. HAHAHA! Ask some big US companies with deep pockets to sue how that works out in China... Glenn, how many times we have discussed this? Do you have the proof that kist is 'Pirated? If yes, take this manufacture to the court.

    That's some fantastic work Richard. You should be a watchmaker!

    The Latham carried a dory in addition to the seine boat, to secure the other end of the seine as it was circled around a school of fish. There is a plan for one included on the sheet with the seine boat, but it is not very complete. I found a plan online that was noted as "free". I scaled it to 1/48th and printed it out. A simple building board will be constructed and frames made out based on the plans. Shouldn't be too bad to build as it has a flat bottom. I'll build it out of basswood, since it all gets painted anyway.

    It's a Sniper pod. A more advanced targeting/surveillance pod.
  33. jwvolz
    Javlin, The pod in those two photos on the port side is the HTS pod for the HARM missile. The Litening pod goes on the starboard side.

    Thanks Cabbie.

    Given those paint choices, if you are going to hand brush use Model Masters. I love Vallejo's "Air" line for the airbrush, but the regular stuff just doesn't brush as nicely as MM.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
