    When I was a kid, Revell issued a series of WW1 aircraft in 1/72 scale. I had a bunch of them. I built their D.VII kit twice, one in Udet's livery and the other in Herman Goering's. First cuts on this kit consists of a lot of prepping of structural elements. If you've followed any of my other KK builds, you may recall that the fit between panels tends to be overly snug. To alleviate this, I remove all of the locator marks on these elements, and sometimes a bit of the underlying pulp board as well. The cockpit elements are a bit rudimentary. Once those are added, the fuselage panels will go together very quickly.

    Welcome to another adventure in card modeling! I had been itching for awhile to do another card project, but it wasn't originally going to be this kit. However, in flipping through my stash earlier today, I discovered I have laser-cut frames for this kit -- I don't recall ever ordering them. Must be that age thing creeping up on me. Since I had been thinking about doing another of Pawel's designs, it seemed like this was just meant to be. If you have seen any of my other KK builds, then you know I am a big fan, and I expect this kit will move right along without too many hitches. BTW, this is KK #1 -- the very first kit that Pawel issued through his own publishing firm after having had his earlier designs published elsewhere, so it's kind of like a bit of nostalgia. Here's the kit cover. Some of the parts pages. Pawel's skills as a graphic artist have improved quite a bit since 2007. And the frames set. No rigging to speak of on this one, and no canopy either, so I don't anticipate it will take terribly long. Look for first cuts soon!

    Master Korabel do include nice woods in their kits. Not a lick of basswood to be found.

    And here's the outboard hawse holes with their anchor pad. Ignore the boo-boo. The port side looks the same, but with a different boo-boo. 😬 I hope the hawses will eventually hide things!
  26. ccoyle
    Cleaned up the inboard hawse holes.

    Fun(?) with hawses. I got the holes drilled and installed the brass hawse pipes. Of course, this work boogered the interior finish planking in that area -- not to mention that the pipes themselves sit proud of the bulwarks. 😑 So, my "ship's carpenter" has made the executive decision to add some pads between the stem and catheads to cover the offending pipes and mangled planking. Stay tuned!

    Looks very sharp so far!

    Good luck, Dave! I fixed the title for you and moved your log to the proper area. Interestingly, both the designer and publisher seem to have gotten the designation for this P-40 variant wrong -- sort of. The C variant was designated as the Tomahawk IIB in RAF service. I haven't built a kit from this designer (Paper AircraftWerks), so it will be interesting to see how his design philosophy compares to others who I'm more familiar with. BTW, for those new to card models, a repaint is when a graphic artist takes an existing design and applies new artwork to it. It's pretty common for digital download models from eCardmodels to be available in multiple liveries. Cheers!

    Congratulations on finishing a rare bird -- maybe we'll see some more AJ Fisher projects around here now!

    The reason behind my comment was that the old yellow box kits are dated in their design and materials. That doesn't mean they can't be built, of course. And if someone intends to use only the carved hull and/or plans, then they can be a bargain option, as long as they have been stored properly.
  32. ccoyle
    Looks great!
  33. ccoyle
    Hmm, looking more and more like the "ship that shall not be named"!
  34. ccoyle
    Ugly or not, still a submariner's nightmare, right?

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.
