    I remember landing at RAF Alconbury, back in 75-76 and chatting with some spotters. They gave me a rundown of every paint scheme/marking/basing summary of the F-4E I had just arrived in. Talk about enthusiasts. We were on our way to Huntington station for the train to London town. 👍

    Nice work with the glazing, Denis. Coming together nicely. 👍

    The farm builds up into a striking model, OC. Awaiting more of your dio wizardry.
  4. Canute
    Double mission accomplished? Well done, sir! 👍
  5. Canute
    A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Take one for the team, Denis

    You crossed eyed yet? Added a bunch of "greeblies".

    Getting into the Luft '46 realm. Many designs that never made it off the designer's drawing board. And there are a few manufacturers of resin kits for some, too.
  8. Canute
    Aw, just give him the old Bronx cheer: phbbt! Lucky stiff.

    OC, not my work. I just took a grab from another site to show the bow crest. Mike's answer in #69 says DDs never had the crest, only cruisers and up.
  10. Canute
    OC, that was most kind. Nicely done.
  11. Canute
    Yeah, probably not, Mike. I keep forgetting this is in 1/700. I looked for bow shots of DDs, but most were too far away, with fuzzy details. A dot of gold paint would probably suffice.
  12. Canute
    Mike it's the little gold disc on the bow.
  13. Canute
    Another beautiful model, Dan. Congratulations.
  14. Canute
    Have you got a chrysanthemum for the tip of the bow? IJN ships had them for the Emperor.
  15. Canute
    Fit doesn't look too bad, Denis. Kits of that vintage require a lot of cleanup and engineering to build up so nicely. You have a great start with this old girl.👍

    Great presentation, with the a/c zipping along in a cloud-top. Very menacing looking
  17. Canute
    That is sooo sexy....

    Folks in some parts of South Carolina put mustard on their barbecue. In eastern North Carolina, we have fans of a vinegar/tomato sauce. Tangier than the sauce we use out here in western NC. Cole slaw and french fries/pomme frites for me, sir.

    Patrick, nice work on the turret.
  20. Canute
    Barbecued pork. Looks good.
  21. Canute
    Maybe those magazines are archived online somewhere? A research project.
  22. Canute
    Looks like a nice bit of gear. Now, go get 'em, tiger!
  23. Canute
    Great job enhancing this conversion, Patrick.
  24. Canute
    I'll be waiting to hear your reasoning, EG. Our eyes sense colors a little differently. It's your model concept of those colors, so run with it.
  25. Canute
    Sounds like the criteria we used out on our flight line, back in the day. Snow was a nuisance, not a reason to cancel ops. Guess nowadays, we can't hazard the little blighters. Do they have seatbelts in the bench seats for them yet?

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.
