    So I got sent a new set of turrets for Zara. The detail is out of this world. Looks like I’m not finished yet…. mind you ill only use 3 as I’m not removing the canvas.
  2. RGL
    Welcome back
  3. RGL
    Next, the black hole on the ship is what went where the forward torpedo tubes went. I’m going to speculate and put a ventilator here. I’ll put sun sail over it.
  4. RGL
    I’ve been informed by Rob Morrow the radars are a bit different so I’m going to alter them.
  5. RGL
    OC, you’ll notice the radar in one particular shot on that site has been censored. The uncensored shot and others show it.
  6. RGL
    I’m at a bit of a loss here, I’m not sure what goes where the radar (before that the search light) went apart from a metal bar as a Arial spreader.
  7. RGL
    The centre bandstand, the single 4” was replaced with a 20mm cannon
  8. RGL
    They were pretty heavily stayed by the look of them
  9. RGL
    Stacks and the modified mast of of 1945
  10. RGL
    Really nice details for 1/700! I don’t know if I could face another Yamato!
  11. RGL
    So with this in mind, version 2, I’ll use some foil across the frame
  12. RGL
    So my guru Rob Morrow who has been my guide for this build is of the opinion that the front shield under the apron is partitioned with metal on the bottom and canvas on the top. So a bit more surgery.
  13. RGL
    Added some details such as support struts and splinter mattresses. Not 100% sure on the breakwater configuration behind the hedgehog
  14. RGL
    Bridge, extended bridge wing for 20mm cannons,
  15. RGL
    By late 1945 the A turret had Ben replaced with a hedgehog, and the B turret with a 4” gun with metal skirts. The underside of it from all my research appears to be closed in.
  16. RGL
    Nearly done; Zulu needs a single Pom Pom
  17. RGL
    Well done Craig!
  18. RGL
    And we’re back, two final 1945 versions
  19. RGL
    So nearly done, just awaiting a 4” gun in the mail and a few Other guns (still in development).
  20. RGL
    Railings added. Nearly there
  21. RGL
    Not that I’ve seen or on the plans, it may have been a snob slip type paint. one gun and the railings to go!
  22. RGL
    and nearly there
  23. RGL
    Yep, be pretty crap in a heavy sea too! I value added to the davits and starting the place all the items that take forever to paint.
  24. RGL
    Pretty sure they’re manual, not the ready use shells on the edge of the deck
  25. RGL
    And filling in the gaps

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.
