    Here is my description of making and fitting the canopies _. Assume a lot of bad language 🤬🤬 just make sure there are no young children or people of a nervous disposition in ear shot...still got to fill a few gaps.. If you really are serious about making this kit buy the replacement canopies

    Love it..i would hate to throw it in the air 🤐
  16. Ian B
    I have been provaracating for ages about starting the canopy. All the reports say its a real pain...they are just placed there ready to be painted..I do agree..very fiddly and annoying lol 😆
  17. Ian B
    I had a bit of spare time so painted and decaled the access panels, I made the engine covers a lot more oily, grimy inside lol 7

    Thank you so much, I spent 4 weeks searching for one on line..I'm itching to get my head down on my hns warrior build so perhaps later next year I will consider scratch building one
  28. Ian B
    Wings fitted, need to scratch a wiring loom and control cable from wing root to the fuselage
  29. Ian B
    Wings sprayed and lightly weathered..also pleased with the scratch build trim tabs and airleon actuators..next decals and the rest of the small bits pitot head. Folded struts, support arms for the folded wings,clear parts etc

    Thanks for compliment. I tried to get the 1/32 catapult that i know is out of production but was hoping an old kit was kicking around somewhere for sale.
  32. Ian B
    Ooooooops I had painted the flaps the wrong way around, time to rub back and spray the green and blue on the opposite sides...easy at this stage 🙃

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.
