North American P-51D Mustang by Asat - Airfix - 1/48
Canute replied to ASAT's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Nice Mustang, Lou. Minimum filler is nice. Less loss of some of the inset and scribed details. 👍 Yes, Airfix had a reboot some years back and their products are much improved. -

Makes sense cost-wise, since MIG is in Spain. -

I read it on, I think. Cybermodeler? May have been on a MRR site, too. Don't know who the primary maker is. I suspect Badger/Stynylrez -
Denis, it's a mid 60's Vette. 77 was Mako shark. I flew with a guy who had one of those Stingrays. Nice!

I did read the book, but don't remember all the details. I do know Gen Patton distrusted the Russians, so the arguments in the book were plausible.

1/48 Seafire Mk. III (Late)
Canute replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I like "bent wing birds". The original Corsair is one of my faves. -
B-25J Mitchell by Tom E - Revell - 1:48 Scale
Canute replied to Tom E's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Lou and everybody. Prime with a light color (white/gray?pale yellow). Yellows and reds are translucent colors, so the primer is needed. Then, paint the yellow areas. Finally, paint the darker color(s). Always paint light to dark. I tried to paint a black item with red once upon a time; gave it up as a lost cause. Stripped the shell, primed and it looked much better. -
That's a direct quote of his. He was an old cavalryman.

My Dad worked his security detail in 3rd Army. Saw his daily. Ended up collecting a nice little library of books on the General. I'm prejudiced, too.

Look up "Clear the Bridge" by LtCdr Richard O'Kane. It's about USS Tang. And look ups any books about USS Wahoo and Cdr Mush Morton. Real life action in West Pac in WW II. Ned Beach wrote a lot of good books about WW sub warfare.

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.
