    The construction of the holes for the anchor cable. As mentioned earlier, on most ships from this time I only find 2 holes (1 on each side). For the dimensions and appearance I based myself on drawings and paintings from that time.

    apply decals The crosses from the kit are not good (not symetric). Others are used from the parts box. First a layer of matte varnish apply decal Add a layer of varnish again. In 30 years, no decal has come loose on my models.

    Roger, The frame antenna serves for long-distance communication (FU = Funk = "radio") It looks that a few of these vehicles were equipped with additional radios and the accompanying antenna during the war. Depending on the type of radio, this was for communication with the commander and / or airforce support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Communications_of_the_German_Army_WW2 The disadvantage of these large antennas was that they were very visible. Later in the war, the frame antenna was replaced by a less visible "star" antenna. Because these vehicles became priority targets for the enemy (he who can not communicate with the headquarters can not ask for support or send information about the enemy). General info, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADGZ Thanks for asking And everyone thanks for the likes and to follow

    to be honest. this is the answer I was hoping for.

    Does anyone know what "the white stuff" looks like when a wooden ship is in the water for a few months? Or better , could have looked.. My idea was, painting with white or cream and thereafter weathering with a wash of dilute green. Examples of what I have in mind. Since I only have experience with painting military models. I now have absolutely no idea whether this is correct or totally wrong.

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.
