    EG, it's good to go, bud. Side panel decals(?) look very good. Instrument panel is very good. Too bad it will be almost hidden in your cockpit. Bet you're crossed-eyed from that detailing job. What's on the radar screen? It has that appropriate green glow of 50's CRTs. Nicely done. 👍👍

    It had a J79 GE engine, same as the F4 and A5 Vigilante. Heck of a lot less iron around it. Great acceleration.
  3. Canute
    Yes, that they are. I enjoy these pre-dreadnaughts. I have too many hobbies going and not enough display space. Keep up the good work.
  4. Canute
    Nicely done, Mike.

    You've said you are super detailing this pre-dread. You've got the parts and the skills to swap these, so why not, Tim? The brass replacement is definitely finer in detail, but you as the builder are in charge of what version you use.

    OC rates that Ultra Glue very good. I've been using Gator Glue to attach PE to plastic and resin. So far, I like it a lot. And water cleanup.
  7. Canute
    Did OK? I'd say so. Very nice, Greg. 👍
  8. Canute
    Nice airbrush! They are excellent.

    We said the same thing about the F-16 early on. Had some air start problems; the high AOAs (angles of AttacK0 they could generate, cut off the air entering the engine inlet. If the one burning ain't turning, it's a blivet and crashes. Reusing the kit cockpit bucket should ensure the nose area will have minimal fit issues. Watching with great interest, EG.

    Kit fitting is excellent. Your work fitting the "Office" is, also.
  11. Canute
    Oh boy, a shiny Zipper. Looking forward to this build, EG.

    You've turned out a beauty, Yves. Well done. 👍
  13. Canute
    Nice and steady. You'll do fine. Like Yves said, we enjoy watching builds of ships from this era, too.

    Trainers never seem to get much love. They're both very nicely done. Congratulations.

    Best of luck with the eye doctor. It's definitely no fun when the peepers are malfunctioning. I had a long wait for cataract surgery last year. Really got out of sorts with the wait. At least you have an avenue for some work.
  16. Canute
    Yep, still following this classic jet build.
  17. Canute
    Nicely done, EG. Really like the flying ambulance version.
  18. Canute
    Well, you could use an Omega, like I did when I flew. 😁
  19. Canute
    It does look good. Silver is never easy.
  20. Canute
    Looking sharp, OC. Nice work with the masking/painting. 👍
  21. Canute
    US camouflage markings are the Ghost Gray stars on the far right. The color markings are for uncamouflaged aircraft, like trainers and some transports. Although, they appear out of register. The red stripe should be centered in the white bar.
  22. Canute
    Nice fade on your Cats, Greg. Very ratty.
  23. Canute
    Brian, beautiful work, sir. 👍
  24. Canute
    Solid research, outstanding modeling skills. Welcome aboard.
  25. Canute
    The Japanese radars were very primitive, so reductions to angles on surfaces were an esoteric concern. Stealth wasn't yet a concept for surface vessels. Your details are coming along nicely.

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.
