    Alan, I think this pretty quickly morphed into the YAK-28 Firebar. Two operational versions, YAK-28P and YAK-28PM. The P carried 2 Anab missiles, the PM carried the Anabs and 2 Atoll short range IR missiles. I see at least the 2 Anabs in your parts jumble. This was considered a significant all weather interceptor threat. in the early 70s by NATO. Good luck with the parts fit. My Firebar sits in the Box of Doomed projects. The nacelle fits are oath-inducing.

    I'll second OC's choice and add Gunship Gray or Tamiya's German Gray. More like a charcoal gray although the Tamiya is more of a weathered black.

    Nicely done. Those pieces turned out perfectly, just the right amount of heat effect on them. 👍

    Nice work on the Second Class compartment. 😄 That Gator Glue is a good product. It's really good for gluing dissimilar materials together. It retains flexibility after it sets, unlike CA which becomes brittle.

    Another interesting figure. I'm in on this one , too, Alan. He sort of looks like one of the Musketeers. 😊

    very well done, Chris. I look forward to you next project, wherever it goes. 😄

    Nice to help the family realize the completion of a project their father started. And you'll have the MSW crew following along. 👍

    Your supposition of the aircraft is spot on, Peter. Double-check the stars and bars insignia. I think they were using a red outline in that time frame, in lieu of the red dot in the center of the star. Red dot could have been misconstrued as a Japanese himomaru aka "meatball".

    Outstanding metal work, Valeriy, 👍

    Excellent work with that yellow enamel. 👍

    Keith, Tichy is pretty reliable and the the parts are sturdy. The Grandt Line/ San Juan parts may be finer, though a little more delicate. Have patience. 😄
  12. Canute
    Jeff, nicely done. 👍
  13. Canute
    It's a real beauty, Yves. 👍
  14. Canute
    Well done! Very fitting way to remember family. 👍

    Chris, have you seen Pan Pastels: https://modelingcolors.com/ They're a powder you apply with a variety of tools, but they'll stay in place a little better than chalks.

    I think it's the Latin influence. I'm half Italian and I also like the red. Progressing nicely, Yves.

    I'll be looking over your shoulder, Dave. I have a Fokker D7 in the stash.
  18. Canute
    I have faith that you will solve this problem, Rob.

    Your leather looks real, Craig. Pretty close to an American Civil War McClellan saddle I own.
  20. Canute
    Well done. Alan. I think you've overcome any limitations and turned out a quality model. 👍

    Mike, I'm in for this build. Very interested in your integrating this mass of detail parts.
  22. Canute
    Very nice diorama, Mike. The aircraft is beautifully done.
  23. Canute
    Well done, Dave. You did a great job on this iconic aircraft.👍
  24. Canute
    Looking good, Mike. The spindly landing gear turned out quite nicely.
  25. Canute
    Great job with the yellow, Mike. That and red are the hardest to get even coverage. 👍

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.
