    Stabilizer fillets and elevators added. A curious factoid: the diagrams show a trim tab on the rudder which the kit parts lacked. I did some web searching to see which was correct -- turns out the A6M2 had a rudder trim tab, but the A6M5 did not.

    Nice work, Andy!

    Nicely done!

    Welcome back! In some respects, the first planking is the hardest. You have gotten the second layer off to a good start!
  5. ccoyle
    Intriguing!

    Condolences on the loss of your pet. It's not easy to say goodbye.

    Welcome aboard!

    Horizontal stabs and framing . . . . . . and glued to fuselage.

    Good luck on your project! I built Chris' first iteration of Sherbourne, which he designed for Caldercraft many moons ago. The new design is much more beginner-friendly.

    Sometimes these older 'beginner' kits can be quite a challenge! Good luck on your project, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

    I hope you have a copy in hand? I checked at ME this morning, and their links to the practicum chapters were broken.

    @Chuck has achieved some excellent finishes with basswood, and he has described his methods in several practicums. He'd be able to direct you to them more readily than I can.

    Hi, @Bontie. I have moved your query to the kit discussions area. To get an answer, you will probably need to be more specific about the "references" you refer to. Hope you get help soon!

    You did a wonderful job on a subject one doesn't see every day!

    Check out this nearly-completed build log:

    Witam! I am a fellow fan of card modeling, though my work does not approach the level of the Polish masters. Glad to have you aboard!
  18. ccoyle
    Magical, as always!

    Completed the vertical stabilizer and rudder. Here we have the rudder framing and cladding. I added a joiner strip from scrap card. And here's the finished assembly. And, just for fun, here's the same shot of the rudder after being massaged with "magic erase". 🤫

    Welcome aboard, Gershon! I'm sure some members will chime in shortly with suggestions for rigging references. I have tagged your project as a first build, which should draw some extra attention to it. Good luck with your project!

    A noble and kind gesture! The model turned out well -- I'm sure she'll like it.

    The AI problem isn't limited to just Google. The internet is simply awash in AI-generated crappola grande. And I'm sure we all have friends who seem to be completely incapable of detecting it and insist on flooding their social media pages with it. As always seems to happen, dimwits and ne'er-do-wells have taken a potentially useful tool and largely ruined it. 😢

    "Magic eraser" -- I'm tellin' ya, that's the secret!
  25. ccoyle
    I love all that nice, cool overcast in your photos! Makes me miss the Pacific Northwest, especially between now and October here in the Deep South! 🥵

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.
