Yes, that would have been an Aussie one. The little resin kits either lack details on the wings and Hull or the molds have degreased too much. so after 2 hours of masking the underside, and a few shades of grey and a bit of weathering, I can let it set until I can give a clear coat and put decals on.

The Catalinas. It appears from my research they were almost black, I just can’t confirm if they had the US stars on the wings.

I’ve done the seagulls up, also some little trollies for them to go on deck. I’ll only need maybe 2 or three of these so I’ll use the least crap as I’m rubbish at these horrible hard plastic kits.

Be cool to add them both….. yes, I thought I’d finally do some people …. As to the Kingfishers, if you zoom in on the photos from Darwin Harbour she had some on the flight deck. As well as Catalinas near her.

I’ve been asking for some decent 3D splinter mattresses, every WW2 RN warship had them.

New release from Micromaster which hopefully I should get a set of in a few weeks. Insane level of detail
-
I have always had to wait three months from there, the last time it took 2 months to leave their own country! They have nice stuff but using a horse and cart as UPS

I’ve added the ship to the base, all it really needs now will be the lines . I’ve done a deep blue as a base for the seaplanes and a navy blue for the Catalinas base coat and a Green for the Japanese aircraft.

Second to last paint cue. Some lovely aftermarket ships boats from Black cat and the shops guns are also on a slow boat from France as I decided the kit ones were just not good enough.

I don’t know yet but I had to have it. I actually bought sone really nice US seaplanes from Veryfire which, upon research, we’re not invented until late 1942!

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.
