    Hi - just joined this site today, so first ever post. Last night I decided to start my Heller 1/75 Reale after looking at some amazing stuff on-line, but being inspired totally by this build. Thankfully I read through it all and decided to check the sprues and yes, I too have only 1 each of 9, 9A, 17 & 18 !!!. I only bought the kit this year from shop in England and everything was sealed, so I'm guessing the missing sprues must have been a batch issue. Having said that, I have bought several Heller sailing ships new in the last year, including Soleil Royal so I hope the problem is confined to this kit. I will e-mail Heller forthwith and . . . be patient. I have had to contact Airfix a few times in recent years about 'quality' issues and they also took an age to reply, although they always came up with the goods, sometimes a sheet of decals arriving through the letter-box without any preamble. The re-release of the Mauretania had incomplete instructions in both kits I bought, but Airfix did send me a full-colour pdf (several weeks later). The quality issues can work both ways, as a few years ago when Airfix re-issued their 1/48 Buccaneer they managed to cram 2 complete kits (both the RAF and RN versions) into one box! Anyway, cheers for the inspiration and heads-up. Neil

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.
