    All I could say is amen to Steinbeck's quote. Looking forward to the outcome of this build. It should be a beauty.

    Beautiful bike, Craig. 👍 And I'm in that camp on building.
  3. Canute
    Well done, Ted. And great perseverance.👍

    Interesting variant of this jet. The Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) really worked in a pit and flew backwards. That has to affect the RIO's visualization of an engagement. I'll tag along on this build.😄

    I have an acquaintance who makes resin kits in a range of model railroad scales and he swears by the vacuum step. I have one of his kits and can vouch for his faith in that approach. I'd have more, if he did more work in HO scale.

    Your luggage and other "leather" work looks great. 👍

    Love the space. Having owned a horse barn/stable, like Marks asks: HVAC for your man cave? Straw is pervasive and you don't need it spoiling a paint job. I imagine Northwest Texas gets a wee bit toasty come summer, like San Antone does.

    Great looking racer. Nicely done. Looking forward to your next build.

    Coming along beautifully, Rob. Well done. 👍

    Interior color is RLM02 Grau (Gray). My source has a slight green tinge,
  11. Canute
    That's for sure.

    Denis, you've been missed. Always enjoy your commentary.😁

    One of my uncles had one of these in silver. We called it the Silver Bullet, Lone Ranger fans that we were.😄

    Nice, the dandyfunk adds a lot to the vehicle. 👍

    Adding some crew really brings life to the old girl. Well done.
  16. Canute
    Super job painting and detailing the castings. Really brings them to life. The boiler on the skid is spot on. 👍

    I think you've captured the look of an M-B seat quite well, Andrew. 👍

    One a day in Tampa Bay, as the old saw went. McDill was the training base for the B-26 in WWII. The original wing was on the small side, meaning it had higher landing speeds. And the unlovely nickname of the Flying Prostitute, since it had no visible means of support. I built a model of Flak Bait, in 1/72 scale, eons back. The original is in the Smithsonian, I believe. How are these newer ICM kits? I picked up some Soviet era jets and they were a bear to build. Lack of locating pins, short shot parts.

    Great job, Craig. Definitely a show stopper. 👍

    The Caudron looks supersonic just sitting there.

    Those Quinta 3D decals look great. This build is looking sharp already. 😄 And yeah, Mr Hobby RLM02 does look pretty green.
  22. Canute
    Per, yes they make a lot of "metal" paints, as do several other brands. "Galvanized" color seems to be a very subjective color. Trying to define it will have 6 opinions among 5 modelers. 😉

    The RAF Buccs carried Pave Spike pods in Desert Storm. Those pods were the size of an AIM-7 Sparrow air to air missile; a bit smaller than the Martel data link pod. USAF Phantoms carried the Spike pod in the left forward Sparrow well.

    The blue stripes are I think a NATO wide code for training weapons - no warheads. Yellow stripe means it's a war shot.
  25. Canute
    We escorted Buccs at Red Flag exercises. Not sure about Desert Storm.

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.
