    If memory serves correctly, Moskit exhausts were also produced in Ukraine.

    Not sure when I'll get around to the tasks, but I have the 1:32 Tamiya, Zoukei Mura, Trumpeter, and new Revell P-51D kits all in the queue. It will be interesting (to me) to see how they compare with each other.

    Glad you're all aboard. I've been plugging away on the model the past few days but have neglected taking photos in favor of getting a little further along before I bore everyone with non-motivational construction photos. Right now, it looks like the wing to fuselage fit might be a little dicey. To get a good silver finish, a good fit will be essential as we all know is the case with shiny metal finishes.

    Excellent! Very nice, Baker.

    Those exhaust look fantastic. There once was another company that produced very thin, realistic exhaust similar to these for a large variety of different kits. Was the name of that company, Moskit, or something similar? I have not seen their products on the shelves in a number of years and I have wondered what happened to them.

    But I do find lots of cars to model. And tanks, planes, ships, etc. 😀

    My granddaughter brought me this gift tonight.

    Does anyone know who made the WnW's decal sheets? Decals almost always are a gamble unless you are dealing with a specific brand every time. What works with one brand can vary wildly with what works with another. That's a lesson learned the hard way many times for me.

    I read that after WW2 ended, this particular aircraft was shipped back to the USA, where it served with various air national guard units. In 1957, it was sold as surplus for $775.00. 😐 It remains in flying condition all the way up to the current day. Amazing.

    Nearly 20 years ago, I bought the newly released 1:32 Dragon P-51D Mustang kit. Almost immediately after receiving it, I promptly started building and painting the interior assemblies, then for reasons I cannot recall, boxed it all up and set it aside for other projects instead. As I looked through my storage items for a model swap-meet I attended a week ago, I ran across my old kit and decided to go ahead now to finish it. There are internal details that can be exposed by cutting away panels, I plan to finish the model all buttoned up. The photos reflect where I am with the kit today after dusting it off and touching up a few things here and there. This will be a "quickie".

    OC You're as good with a brush as most modelers I've seen. I say, go for it. It's useless just sitting on the shelf. Why not enjoy the model and the experience of it all?
  12. CDW
    Looks perfect

    Very nice work Mike

    Will love following your build, Tim. After building the same Triumph kit, always regretted not taking time to wire the spokes. In this large scale, the effort will be well worth it.

    Wow, Alan...what a magnificent display. This sure will attract a lot of attention from your visitors.

    Indeed, your woodgraining is superb. I agree 100% with what you say here. Far more often than not, many of the photo etch pieces included with sets intended for a particular model, particularly the WnW's kits, go unused as they are either not as good or no improvement over the kit parts.

    What color was the Riviera you saw, Yves?
  18. CDW
    Is 318 the actual number of curves? I know from experience there are a bunch, but never heard of or thought of counting them.

    Thanks for your kind comments, Dan. I have not watched the movie Ferrari. Will look for it and watch.
  20. CDW
    Maybe we should take the Ferrari 250 California Spider out of the garage and ride that dragon tail in it, instead?
  21. CDW
    Andrew, Alan Thanks for following along and for your kind comments.
  22. CDW
    I should have shown a photo under the hood, too.
  23. CDW
    Boy, I wish! Wait till spring and we'll drive it through the mountains.
  24. CDW
    Thanks Andy. Did you know, if you take your model to a contest, 2/3 of your point score will be for the finish? Thanks Ken, I aim to please. 😄 As always, thanks for the kind words, OC.

    The Highway Patrol pulled me over and wrote me a citation for not having my license plates displayed. I corrected that.

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.
