    I don’t know how people ever brush painted these things.
  2. RGL
    Very close to the finish now, I need to do some airbrush touch ups and rigging, then the windscreen and guns
  3. RGL
    Bombs
  4. RGL
    So decals done, a bit of weathering to go plus props etc etc
  5. RGL
    And the base coat done. I’m not sure if the colours are exact but Meh!
  6. RGL
    Well easier than masking a ship
  7. RGL
    And that’s the big bits, primer coat down. I’m going to give it a day to dry, then a light sand and I’ll place all the eyelets for the rigging lines, then preshaded before camouflage
  8. RGL
    So a bit busier than the instructions
  9. RGL
    Cockpit!
  10. RGL
    Making a start on the fuselage’s interior. The kit has none. And big open hatches. The cockpit is metal framed and the rest of it is traditional metal/wood frame and canvas. a bit of scratch building now, the upper gunner’s area and the frame for the lowered underside gun.
  11. RGL
    Wings; big gaps, engines on as there is a gap between the top of the engine and the leading edge of the wing . There are large gaps in the wing join pieces of almost z1mm.
  12. RGL
    Free hand, I’m over masking !
  13. RGL
    And some more
  14. RGL
    Started on the wings. I forgot how poorly everything lines up on these kits. Mind you not as bad as a roden kit. A few more references …..
  15. RGL
    The old three colour sprues
  16. RGL
    My local club is doing a 50 years of matchbox build which needs to be done by the end of May so I need to pause the other builds. I picked a very ugly kit.
  17. RGL
    So that’s the base coat of the camo done. I need to give it a clear coat next but, I have to start a different log as I have a club build to do…
  18. RGL
    So after hours of masking, the base coat. Touch ups then black borders to be done yet.
  19. RGL
    Masking. What a pain.
  20. RGL
    Are you going to raise the bow?
  21. RGL
    Yes, there are several configurations of engine and particularly exhausts.
  22. RGL
    So I really have to do one like this I think
  23. RGL

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.
