    Ah, younger eyes. Nice work, Mike. I'll be following.

    You must use your Jedi mind tricks, said Obi Wan Kenobi.

    Those thick sprues are indicative of limited run kits. The molds aren't quite as sharp with the pour channels into the parts. A good pair of sprue cutting pliers makes quick work of them, but you may need a wee bit of cleanup. I'll follow along, Alan.

    Like Alan said, the engine is lovely. All the aftermarket you added, along with the extras Special Hobby already throws in, makes for one busy a/c build. One of my uncles made parts for this plane in North jersey and they were shipped to Brewster's plant in Buffalo (?), NY during the war.

    Nicely done Andrew. Waiting on the reveal.

    Best of luck with this beauty. These are limited edition kits, with tons of details. I'll be following with interest. I've built a few laser cut kits for layouts, but not one of these high end kits.

    The bird looks better and better. Looking forward to your additions. 😄 Your wife is a wise woman. Give her a kiss from us. 😉

    Cool, and he's already in his water survival suit of bright orange. That shot shows off the subtle ribbing in the radome. They are usually laminations. Very nice.
  9. Canute
    Very nicely done. Kudoes.
  10. Canute
    Paint job and weathering were quite nicely done. Now, I want to see your loadout.

    Some of it was Goering's ego. Using Bf110 Zerstorers as escorts when then couldn't really protect themselves. Later, tying the the Bf109s to close escort of the bombers. Luftwaffe tactics were too restrictive; they had a good fighter, but employed it badly (luckily for the Allies).

    Had the pleasure of attending the air show at RAF Leuchars, back in 1996. Got to talk to the Spit pilot, since he and the Hurricane landed. The Lanc went elsewhere, I think. They're pretty cautious flying the museum pieces, but happy to talk about the aircraft.👍

    It is, for me, one of the best filmed flying movies. It was filmed in the late 60s and they had a B-25 with wide open windows flying the cameramen. Technology has made quantum advances since then. I've studied that campaign as part of my Air War College courses. The courses brought out the points EG stated.
  14. Canute
    Nicely done.
  15. Canute
    I'm in, also.
  16. Canute
    I always wanted to build a Sutherland, but it wasn't too available n my yoot here in the States (mid 60s). Did do a Lanc, Halifax and Sterling, All Airfix and I do remember the little glue bulb. Fun times.
  17. Canute
    A tough break, EG, but that's life, warts and all. We're here for you. And you know how to get in touch with us. 😉 Nihil illigitimus carborundum.
  18. Canute
    Looking good. Coming more alive.
  19. Canute
    Nice when the weather's nice. Not so hot when it's raining or sleeting.
  20. Canute
    I'm following, too. Interesting subject. These newer Airfix kits are much nicer than the early ones.
  21. Canute
    Nice elephant walk. Your Trackers look very good, Brad.
  22. Canute
    Amen. I've been looking at these things and I could see one or two of them finding their way to Casa Canute.
  23. Canute
    Looking very good, OC. Can almost hear the Pas de Charge as they attack in column.
  24. Canute
    Yellow nose boys from Abbeville.
  25. Canute
    Just a little bit of a concrete pad, with an ammo cart or some kind of power cart next to the jet.

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.
