    Blimey --Parts 4 to 5 (vertical frame for the stern section) just as bad as the two deck halves earlier. What a terrible fit for such and expensive kit !!! VID_20230308_140719476 (1).mp4

    Well I started the easy bit----- Wow was it not straight when I joined the two parts together- I know she went round in circles before she sunk-- she would have gone round in circles when she was launched LOl

    As we go along I am relying on everyone here shouting when I get to any bit/section that either needs correcting or advice where you had issues-- Make my life a fraction easier 'Standing on the shoulders of Giants' I think the expression goes...

    I certainly will.. initially when I install the bow as I want to incorporate the underwater sonar panels and bits

    Hi.. I am still confused about her markings, the AOS says it had them blanked out as per the instructions breaking out through the Denmark straights but had the markings and yellow roofs of the main turrets reapplied before the final show down..I can't see how they had time to repaint!
  22. Ian B
    Just a simple.'thank you' not just the build but all the time spent photographing it and sharing it with us. Ian 🥳
  23. Ian B

  24. Ian B

  25. Ian B
    Hi Eric Just joined your 'doesn't quite fit, what the heck!' build log You're doing a great job and I am sure those that follow you in building the Cairo will be so grateful you have asked all those questions and can refer to this build in future years so they won't be so frustrated. I am tempted myself to build her--- something different for the fleet. Cheers Ian

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.
