    Continue with the construction. The engine and rear compartiment are glued first. After drying 24h these will be cleaned (sanded) up. That's why I'm not following the plan. These models require a lot of sanding and fitting in the beginning. If you follow the plan and have assembled the small pieces first. Then you have many "oops" and " " The pieces after cleaning glued and drying (24h) The rear compartiments The pieces They really don't fit from the first time make the rear plate thinner Glued and drying for 24 h. Thanks for following and comments

    Thanks. I probably won't buy any more kits. Not because of the price or whether or not good or bad quality. Once started with scratch building a wooden shipmodel, you can not stop

    Thanks Steven The fore top is only 2mm smaller in diameter than the main top. This really doesn't look good and the conversion is now underway. These are the "charms" of scratch building a model without plans, haha.

    Thanks Chris. It is useful to take a photo now and then. And then take a good look at it I see that the mast top of the fore mast is actually a bit too big. So I'm going to rebuild this top a bit smaller. Better now than later

    Next build, 2 models from ACE. The Kfz. 2 radio car http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/448 The Kfz.4 anti aircraft http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/576 General information http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_english/Motor_Vehicles/Germany/Einheits-Fahrgestelle/le__Einheits-Pkw/le__einheits-pkw.html Ace makes short run models. So with molds that are worn out after a certain production number. Seeing is buying. Once out of production, the models are almost no longer available. Box, plan and parts. There is already a first problem at the start of building the chassis. The pins and holes do not fit. Pins removed and the parts fit now. Chassis parts glued and clamped.

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.
