    I had a buddy who did the panels is various shades and masked them with Post-It notes, sticky edge toward the panel. He was an IPMS guy and his planes look beautiful with the multi-shaded panels.
  2. Canute
    The blue covered nicely.
  3. Canute
    I'm in, too.

    Coming along nicely, Rob. Your "distressing" of the engine panels came out great.👍
  5. Canute
    Well done, James. 👍

    He's turned out nicely Jack. 👍 Waiting for Vadim. I have an app named Hobby Color Converter on my Android phone. It's used to give you color equivalences for hobby paints. If instructions give you Fed Spec colors or Gunze colors, you can look up many other equivalent paints in other lines. The other feature for me is the hobby news portion. It gives you new releases for a/c, armor, auto, figures, fantasy figures (like Ianis), Model Shipwrights, model railroading and some more in-depth reviews. The shipwrights and railroad announcements are pretty thin, but since this is from the Kit Maker website, their website coverage in these areas is kind of minimal. I check in every other day or so to see what's new on the site.

    James, your chipping looks pretty good. Our Phantoms took a beating on the canopy rails, since they were convenient for a myriad of tasks, by we aircrew and especially the maintainers. The cockpit floors were generally the underlying metal colors as were the canopy rails. Areas around the cannon feed systems should be beat up by the loaders, although the invasion stripes would :freshen up" that area. Keep up the good work. 👍

    Hear! Hear!
  9. Canute
    Yes, the new Airfix would be a very good choice. 😁
  10. Canute
    Nicely done. She looks fast.👍
  11. Canute
    Sheesh, I remember so many of the earlier kits with the gaps and dihedral issues. Very nice save with the thin strips and Mr Surfacer products. 👍
  12. Canute
    Very nice looking M.B. seat. 👍
  13. Canute
    Hmm, oil field pump or whirly bird? Will the pump be automated or static? Automation would be cool, but it's your build, your choice.
  14. Canute
    Interesting build there, Jack. What's the doohickey on his back and arm? Odd flame-thrower or an adult beverage dispenser?
  15. Canute
    She turned out well. Congratulations for her.
  16. Canute
    Well done, Richard! I really like your diorama. 👍
  17. Canute
    Nicely done, Andy. The erks are toiling away, getting the Wimpy ready for another go against Festung Europa.
  18. Canute
    That's why I live in the woods, on the side of a ridge. Mulch the front of the house. Although I do have a year long battle with kudzu.
  19. Canute
    It happens on Windows boxes, too. Like Andy said, usually the photo heavy logs. Another "feature?"
  20. Canute
    Like Norm said, you can't have too many clamps. I've used those metal clamps with the wire bails, along with the spring-powered clothespins. Did you take anything off the wheelwells? Not quite spring here. The plants are blooming, but it was 35F this morning. 🥶
  21. Canute
    Your work on the radio antennas is the icing on a multi layer cake. Bravo!
  22. Canute
    Oh, okay. I comprehend now. 😁
  23. Canute
    OC, that Loctite Gel is a good choice; I use it on my resin cars. 👍 Oh, we watched "Napoleon" on AppleTV streaming service. I got the service to follow Masters of the Air; an excellent series on the air war, Anyway, my Admiral said Napoleon was a waste of time. I'm glad I didn't spend the bucks to see it on a theater. They played fast and loose with the battle scenes. Waterloo was a joke. Napleon led a charge, no battle at La Haye Sainte farm or Hougemont, the Prussians attacked from the west(?). Oh and Wellington kept the Alliance forces on the facing side of the hill, rather than on the back side. This movie ranks up there with "Pearl Harbor"

    How did the port side turn out? Display it with the better side showing.
  25. Canute
    I too remember Moskit, but they disappeared into the fog of yesterdays. Are those 3D prints? Nice and delicate.

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.
