    Yep, it’s a 1972 mold OK, even with the additional PE (you pretty much can’t see any of it when closed up. Lots of putty will be needed yet

    It’s so strange working at this scale

    A few photos, it looks lovely

    I haven’t built a plastic aircraft since about 1980, which matches when this kit was a re-box of a 1972 mold. It’s not that easy to find at a reasonable price (it cost about $30 with postage) plus a bit of PE as I can’t help myself as usual. its going to be nice to build something a bit bigger than usual scale and compared to HMAS Vendetta a bit less fat fingers I hope.

    So good

    It’s a 1972 mold still! Apparently it was pretty useless but lovely lines

    I seriously need to get a cabinet or give some away

    Thus ends the German phase; Graf Zeppelin, Seydlitz and Emden. Parked up in the digital graveyard. I live in hope they will make a USS Langley so I can build that as my third US ship, but I’m not really inspired by anything at the moment as anything I build I want to weather heavily as it’s fun. I’m really not a fan of doing that many aircraft again, so as a break I intend to do a couple of flying boats in ‘Shore Leave’. I haven’t built a plastic aircraft since the very early 1980’s.

    Aerials added, Ships crest, pretty much done. I’ll get some better images tomorrow when I have better light

    On reflection I thought no, I wouldn’t.

    Amazing build mate, it pops up when you Come back from work and I’m reminded of its excellence

    The kettenrad was just horrible to build. The little Kubelwagon was a bit better. Torpedo and bomb trolleys, and the Stukas are done.
  17. RGL
    Very nice
  18. RGL
    Reverse some masking tape and place them on that or use blue tack

    Great work mate

    This is a BF109. The panels are recessed as is the canopy. New trick, painted the canopy black with acrylic then gave it a green wash with Oils that bring up the metal parts are a brush is not thin enough. Then a light wash to bring out the panels. Next will be some light dry brushing to bring out some colour. Once thats sone on all of the aircraft I’ll add decals them weather

    Base coats done, now to weather

    This is where the H&S .15mm nozzle will come in handy.

    There is a special place in hell for me having to do this. MAsking and doing the camo up for the aircraft

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.
