So when you make the photo black and white and washed out…. So more weathering to go, exhaust stains and patches. I also need to fade out the star on the top wing

References, each of the 8 cats are significantly damaged but all different, so to track they all get their own hanger for a while

I’m still not happy with them. I’m off to buy some enamel silver to make them more ravaged. next step in the Catalina’s, highlights and a fading the a panzer blue filter to give it some depth.

Now the Hell Cats are pretty much done, as is the Duck. I’ve painted the Catalinas in a 3 tone base coat which I now have to completely destroy.

I always find cable reels an absolute pain. You could use the centre of the kit ones (trim the edges) then put brass on them

Yes I will, no matter how hard I try I can’t see any numbers on the aircraft and I wonder if they were painted out before disposal

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.
