F-86F-30 Sabre by Javlin - FINISHED - Kinetic - 1/32
Canute replied to Javlin's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yep, what some folks might call elective surgery (not life threatening this minute) have been rolling along OK since early June, here in WNC. -

Things will definitely work better after it all heals up. Of course, right now you must look like Rocky Raccoon. Be well, brother. -
Messerschmitt Bf 109 E3 ragove Matchbox 1/32
Canute replied to Papa's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
They're a challenge. Plus they had very deep panel lines in some of their aircraft kits. -
Dornier Do-217K-1 by Papa - FINISHED - Revell - 1/72 - PLASTIC
Canute replied to Papa's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
No, the K model here used BMW radials. The German bombers tried a number of permutations of their air-frames, differing mostly with the engines installed. Studying them is a trip down a rabbit hole. -

Oh, I can't believe they'd be imbibing too much. We worked with a 12 hour bottle to throttle rule, when I was actively flying. Guess your other two are hiding in the cockpit somewhere. Their camouflage schemes are so interesting. Will you try the boxtop scheme? -

RA, I suspect that could be the gunner/radio operator, checking for Mossie or Beaufighter night-fighters sneaking up on them. The navigator would be riding sideways, staring at his maps, or looking out the front. I don't know if the Germans used a co-pilot. The entire 4 man crew was up there in the nose of the bomber. -
Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop

Hope things out on the Banks are OK. That recent TS/Hurricane did a number in some areas. Have fun. -
The 3D turrets are superb, Greg. As is the PE on the superstructure. 👍

Don't think we Colonials made that distinction, suh. Our Riflemen took target practice on officers at Saratoga and Cowpens, fighting like the Red Indians. In our Civil War, the North formed a unit, named Berdan's Sharpshooters. The used rifles and wore dark green uniforms, similar to the 95th. Less flashy dress, since they were used as snipers. And they worked in pairs, like the British Rifles.

Hank, it's almost time to splice the mainbrace. Very nice job.

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.
