I'll second Roger's recommendation. The authors did a lot of new work to write the book on the Battle of Midway.

Shelby 427 S/C Cobra by CDW - FINISHED - Fujimi - 1:24 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Another superb job, Craig. Love your painting and finishing.👍 -
Very well done, Yves. 👍 Model RR clubs are a way to have and operate on a model RR. Most are built in HO and N scales. Very occasionally in O scale. And yes it is money intensive, especially for the current era modeler, with the numbers of very detailed locos. These are built for optional digital command and control. Many choose this option because it gives you sounds and lighting effects in engines and cars. Those of us who had Lionel or American Flyer sets were wowed with a headlight and horn, maybe w smoking steam engine. Now these effects come in HO and N scale. The control boards can drive 2 watt speakers, so care is taken not to overpower the "sugar cube" and cell phone speakers installed in locos. Check out for clubs in your area(s) that run holiday trains. Ours does a Polar Express train for the "kids".

Quite the jump in quality, Greg. -
Maverick's F-14A Tomcat by SigEp Ziggy - Revell - 1/48
Canute replied to SigEp Ziggy's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
The aerial cannons on many of our earlier jets, up thru at least the F-16s, are 6 barrel M61A1 20mm Gatling guns, capable of up to 6,000 RPM. The size of a jet's magazine, like the silver drum in the second opening, defined how many seconds of gunfire per jet. The F-4E had 640 rounds in it's magazine, so it had 10 seconds of cannon. This Tomcat looks like around the same size. We were limited to a 2 second burst or the barrels overheated and twisted into a pretzel. One of my squadrons in SEA had a warped barrel set in our lounge. -

Opening the louvers and intake on the front really enhance the looks of this Cobra. 👍 -
Might that have been Preco? I remember ads, but none of the details.

Sad to see but pretty common, unfortunately. They do a great job in acquisition, but less work on maintaining and preserving the gear. It's a never-ending battle. -

A quick check on your seal is to put your mask on, cinch down any and all straps and inhale. If the mask collapses, it's sealed. And monitor your breathing while working. If you see moisture inside the mask, you may have a bad seal, especially around your nose. We exhale CO2 and water vapor. I do like Pat's mask that puts a positive pressure inside the mask. The chem gear we used when flying did that. We carried small fan units to over pressurize our systems. Most of it was a firefighter's SCBA gear, routed thru a chemical filter.

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.
