    Interesting, I see it's got the buddy to buddy refueling pod on.

    Apologies, might have caused some confusion here. The chap in the video is Ian Pringle, who is still alive and kicking and has now become an author Ian Pringle He used to own a Buc that was managed by Thunder City Mike Beachy Head was the owner of Thunder City and he passed away in 2017. A company called Hangar 51 has bought the Buccs and has moved them by road from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth for restoration. (Dec 2022 and Jan 2023)

    Cape Town, South Africa based. Thunder City, the company that owned them, is defunct now after the owner died of a heart attack a couple of years ago. Some of the collection has been sold off, so we might see a Buc flying again soon...

    A very much loved aircraft type in the SAAF as well, good old British engineering at its best!
  10. Jolley Roger
    Agreed!🙂

    Hi Egilman, Your dolly sure looks the part! Is there any reason why you are not printing it instead of scratching it? Just curious as i'm no expert on 3d printing. One other thing, as per pic below, I notice there is a 'plate' between the compressor section and the combustion chambers, assume it was to mount the engine correctly in the fuselage?
  12. Jolley Roger
    I can smell Jet-A1 just by looking at that picture🙂
  13. Jolley Roger
    Brilliant!
  14. Jolley Roger
    Fascinating stuff EGM! Hats of to the engineers of the time that laid the foundation for the modern jet engine and to you for educating us. Just love it!
  15. Jolley Roger
    All the best with the upcoming procedure Egilman. Absolute stunning work, don't think I have ever seen anybody in the aircraft modelling community do something similar, so looking forward to the printed prototype. If you ever make this available to buy, i'm first in line🙂, i've got a Wolfpack F-86(basically a reboxed Kinetic) in the stash and a proper engine will make it so much better!

    Negative sir, the SAAF purchased the Mk 6 after the Korean war, because of their experience with the F86 in Korea (i'm actually one of the 'historians' on the website you linked🙂) But, i'm not here to argue this minor detail with you, i'm here to see you build this wonderful model, 99%+ of Sabres would have had all black cockpits Would love to see you build the J-47 engine from scratch, lots to be learned

    Just to throw a small spanner in the works😁 Below is a cockpit photo of SAAF F-86 616 with a grey interior taken by Lt G Thom. This aircraft was shot down on 21 July 1953 and Lt Thom became a POW for a short while. So there were some Sabres that already had grey interiors in the Korean theatre.

    Following with interest, my favorite piece of military hardware!
  19. Jolley Roger
    Epic! Still in good nick too.
  20. Jolley Roger
    Finally! Looking good so far

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.
