    I stumbled across this old photo of mine, for folks that lamented the dearth of VVS aircraft among my builds. This is a Yak-3 built from an Orlik kit. Photo taken with one of our very first, if not the first, digital cameras we ever owned.

    Um -- wouldn't that create even more legal reasons? 😂
  16. ccoyle
    That sounds pretty non-committal -- but I guess we can content ourselves with whatever hints are tossed our way for the moment!

    The kit never received a name. Is it a generic type or a specific vessel?

    Yes, that's the waterline. It looks about right to my eye. Those pilot schooners did not have a whole lotta freeboard!
  23. ccoyle
    Because I wisely chose to show the starboard side!

    Welcome aboard, Paul!
  25. ccoyle
    Well done, Henry!

    Next bits. For reasons which I will not rehash here, I tend not to include internal framing on my canopy glazing, but for this model I will. Like the Curtiss P-40, the Ki-61 has glazing behind the pilot, and it also has two small glazed panels at the bottom edges of the windscreen. The internal framing provides additional substructure for gluing down the faux glass cut from an overhead transparency sheet. The frames are painted silver on their reverse sides just in case any should be partially visible once the exterior skins go on. You have to squint hard to see that the glazing is finished in this image, but it's there! Believe it or not, I can FINALLY start work on the cockpit walls now, hooray!

    Love it, Greg! Lots of details for the viewer to search out.

    Last one for tonight -- control stick has been added.

    Jan, I think the squares are 2.5 cm on a side, but I could be wrong. The entire mat is about 11" wide, so about 28 cm. I plan to build the Hien with its canopy open. Here's the finished gunsight. It's not built exactly as in the diagrams, partly because there were a couple of parts whose positions I couldn't figure out precisely, and there were one or two really tiny bits that just wouldn't fit and/or would not ultimately be visible. For an idea of size, the smaller of the two reflector panels is 2.25 x 2.5 mm.

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.
