    Very nicely done. Kudoes.

    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.

    Nicely done.
  7. Canute
    I'm in, also.

    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.

    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.

    Looking good. Coming more alive.
  11. Canute
    Nice when the weather's nice. Not so hot when it's raining or sleeting.

    I'm following, too. Interesting subject. These newer Airfix kits are much nicer than the early ones.

    Nice elephant walk. Your Trackers look very good, Brad.
  14. Canute
    Amen. I've been looking at these things and I could see one or two of them finding their way to Casa Canute.
  15. Canute
    Looking very good, OC. Can almost hear the Pas de Charge as they attack in column.
  16. Canute
    Yellow nose boys from Abbeville.
  17. Canute
    Just a little bit of a concrete pad, with an ammo cart or some kind of power cart next to the jet.
  18. Canute
    All too true. The digital schemes are the ones I can't quite grasp. Fantastic results when done right.
  19. Canute
    I suppose. Anyway, I'll wait patiently for this build. Craig, that stuff looks like Silly Putty.
  20. Canute
    Looking good. What's the black masking agent, something new from AMMO?
  21. Canute
    Excel makes a handle with flat sides: https://excelblades.com/products/fitgrip-knife I've used mine for years, along with Excel blades (better steel than Exacto). Another option is to tape a matchstick to your round handles to keep them from rolling into your leg.

    Hang in there, brother. You're doin' fine. And you're in our thoughts and prayers.
  23. Canute
    Well, the lid painting is superb. Much better than the photo covers. One of my all-time favs, the P-40 family. The first kit I ever built as a 6 year old was a Flying Tiger P-40. And the USAF descendant unit (23rd Fighter Wing) is still aviating, flying A-10s at Moody AFB, Valdosta, GA. Notice the blurry markings?
  24. Canute
    Nicely done, Dan. You've captured the seeker head color of your 'Winders. Have a safe drive on your holiday.
  25. Canute
    Harry, prime the yellow areas with white or very light gray. Take a look at Egilman's F-86 build, he goes thru similar gyrations, replacing a disintegrating decal with yellow paint. Starts at message 383, page 13

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.
