Mine was a green one with the wrap around grey belly. Think they called a NATO or European scheme. No pale gray. And there were gaps between the unpianted titanium plates; enough to be able to shake the plates. 😲 I have a partial disability with the VA medical system for what happened over time to my c-spine, thanks to the cumulative physical stresses inherent to high G operations. But I'm happy to have been able to have my flying career.🫡

Nice explanation of the hairspray chipping technique. And I love the job you did on the hot section of the F-4. I had an up close and personal look at one I had been flying during my weapons school training. We went thru jet wash and had the artificial feel system go out. A nice 3-4 G turn became an instantaneous 10.5 G fight to get the jet back under our control. Pilot did a great job getting us recovered back at our base. During our post flight walk around, we could rattle the the "alligator skinning" around the tailhook. We broke those bolts. You could use a little more burnt metal in those curved areas. 😉😁

Quite the suitably ugly bucket of bolts you have there, Greg. Well done. -
Woodwork/Model making workshop. Scale 1:1
Canute replied to Charter33's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Really like the ceiling treatment. And the wood looks great to me. 👍 -
Chris, that sounds plausible. But I'm no experten on Luftwaffe airframes. I do know that a lot of WW II fighters were very sensitive on the amount of ground time between engine start and takeoff. The maintainers usually did a start to warm up the engine before the pilot got to his bird, then shut down until the mission start time.

Nice find. Now that Vette will be the show stopper. 👍 -

That's one beautiful resin casting. My only reservation about the white resin is spotting all the locations that need your attention like drilling holes and fitting parts together. Our white work-lights on white resin can be tricky. I took to dusting a gray primer on the resin so I could see all necessary locations. Craig, I look forward to watching this car proceed to completion, especially your smooooth finishes. And those white resin casters listened to their market and now use a gray styro-urethane. Mush easier on the old eyes. -
A dip in Future/Pledge/Klear or whatever it is called now for the clear plastic should defog your windows. That stuff is a clear liquid acrylic floor finish.

Thing is oddly attractive, in a perverse way. Fun build you've got there Greg. -
I'll be following along, too. Don't know how much tech I can provide, but I will be aiding in the peanut gallery, urging you along.😄

SPAD XIII c1 by modeller_masa - Roden - 1/32 - PLASTIC
Canute replied to modeller_masa's topic in Completed non-ship models
Yes, a not very well done limited production. I think Popeye had issues with some of the Roden kits he's built.

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.
