    Like Mark says, looks OK to me. Proceed slowly and keep the glue blobs to a minimum. Enjoy yourself.
  2. Canute
    John, my condolences, brother.
  3. Canute
    Pretty posh; looks like a hotel room.
  4. Canute
    Yeah, not bad for an air-dale, Hank. Those things go from bag into printer and back. I saw one of my co-workers drop a red cartridge on the floor/deck in our Mission Planning area once upon a time. Took hours of scrubbing to eradicate. Vowed never to do that.
  5. Canute
    Oh, my buddy was the only one messing with the copiers. He came into our train club and offered the plate glass only. I think everybody took 2. Changing toner cartridges is as deep as I want to get.

    I got 2 pieces of glass from a Xerox tech who had removed them from decommissioned copiers. Good sized glass, so I glued down some sandpaper to one to sand parts. The other is used to square up assemblies while gluing. Cleanups are a single edge razor blade to errant glue blobs.
  7. Canute
    Sounds like a microscope or telescope. Multiple lenses? I have a loupe on my Optivisor and it magnifies, but depth of field is wonky.
  8. Canute
    Frustrating when stuff like that happens, OC. Good attitude.
  9. Canute
    Either one would be good. Northern Italy was nice, Germany was fun, too. If he doesn't like it in either, he's spending too much time on base.
  10. Canute
    That's what I said in post #19. get out the single strand version, too.
  11. Canute
    Yeah, for painting fine lines like canopy glass separators in 1/72 scale, 1 would do.
  12. Canute
    The build looks good, Mark. Nice sweet lines.
  13. Canute
    Coming along nicely. You need a 10/0 brush (I think that's the size), like OC has used. Two bristles. And use under lots of light and magnification. I need frequent breaks, due to concentrating so hard to paint something so fine.

    A long time ago, I was in the 307 Tac Fighter Squadron, flying Phantoms. In Homestead, Florida. Now, it's in Aviano AB, Italy, up north of Venice. That unit has a long and colorful history. Nice work, Javlin.👍
  15. Canute
    Nice results, Grant. Those hinge shots at the start of this update looked shaky, but everything looks nice and tight now. The leather looks really sharp. Quite the odyssey. 👌
  16. Canute
    Same here Lou. Can't like that.
  17. Canute
    Hmm, I just got into the British Riflemen book, but it's early days on the origin of the unit. May have to seek out the KGL books. You've sent me down another rabbit hole, mate.
  18. Canute
    Looking good, mate. Interesting fact you present. KGL was clean-shaven except for them. 🤔
  19. Canute
    Yep, what some folks might call elective surgery (not life threatening this minute) have been rolling along OK since early June, here in WNC.
  20. Canute
    Things will definitely work better after it all heals up. Of course, right now you must look like Rocky Raccoon. Be well, brother.
  21. Canute
    They're a challenge. Plus they had very deep panel lines in some of their aircraft kits.
  22. Canute
    Making haste slowly, mate.
  23. Canute
    No, the K model here used BMW radials. The German bombers tried a number of permutations of their air-frames, differing mostly with the engines installed. Studying them is a trip down a rabbit hole.
  24. Canute
    Oh, I can't believe they'd be imbibing too much. We worked with a 12 hour bottle to throttle rule, when I was actively flying. Guess your other two are hiding in the cockpit somewhere. Their camouflage schemes are so interesting. Will you try the boxtop scheme?
  25. Canute
    RA, I suspect that could be the gunner/radio operator, checking for Mossie or Beaufighter night-fighters sneaking up on them. The navigator would be riding sideways, staring at his maps, or looking out the front. I don't know if the Germans used a co-pilot. The entire 4 man crew was up there in the nose of the bomber.

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.
