I went straight to first class and got a Harder and Steenbeck then rang up @BANYAN who talked me through how to use it. I can’t imagine not using one now, but the tamiya primer mixed with lacquer thinner is just the best thing ever for PE.

Thanks but it’s pretty simple stuff, i won’t put people off, it’s quite easy so far. That’s not me being a smart ****, it goes together like any other plastic kit. I first timer Could do this .

So that’s the latticework done up for dryfit. Little bit warped but will glue down ok. no comparison to the plastic is there!

I think it’s amazing. You have to be an artist to do the CAD regardless so you can’t just print it either. . I think whilst it is an evolution of the hobby it does not change the skills required for the woodworking class or plastic kits. I’m really enjoying this build / Print!

The Cv-1 upgrade has it (you can basically just use that set for the CV-3). The Eduard set covers off on some railings and the nets and stanchions for the flight deck with are so much better that the Trumpy stuff.

Well plastic wood… anyways the superstructures are done up, now to start on the PE! The instructions are pretty rubbish.

Plodding away on the superstructure that will be nearly invisible below the flight deck. The rear most structure has planked sides!

By 1941 there were fuel lines running down both sides of the hull (not mentioned in the kit at all). They stand out like the proverbials when you look at the photos. and @BANYAN I just found them on the ebays

Hahaha, excellent research! I think all the photos with them are pre war. I might have purchased some Catalinas for her. You’ll find out…

Heaps of research out these, this link is the original plans as a collier. https://maritime.org/doc/plans/ac3.pdf when you zoom in there are hull features such as pipes running along the hulls which I assume are fuel lines . I’ll need to add those and scuppers too.

I have a wooden deck for her, I’m looking forward to this. Lots of weathering applicable too.

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.
