    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!

  12. RGL

  13. RGL
    Next from France, a couple of Catalinas

    So I bought a Trumpeter 6 pack of Kingfishers, and added PE from spare parts. I really don’t like the little kits are they are very basic and misaligned but so be it.

    Next part of the build is the Kingfisher

    Now I’m sure the Yanks would know, when did the USAAF stop using the Star with the red dot in the middle ?
  18. RGL
    The first of the 4 types of aircraft I’ll use on Thai build, as you can imagine I have quite a stash of spares in Pe, so firstly the Curtis Seagull, one as a trial to see how it looks then the first trial using some pe and brass rods
  19. RGL
    Next lot of infill, planes etc
  20. RGL
    The Trumpeter kit for uses the netting in 2 pieces and some ridiculous flimsy arms to hold them, and Eduard provides something better with really **** poor instructions, the net needs to be bent to about 80degrees then it needs a rivet strip among side the top to reflect the real things.

    WW2 and modern warships have gantries alongside the flight deck. Langley had a net.
  22. RGL
    Dude, you are making your own ship! I just stick bits together and whack some paint on them.
  23. RGL
    Just amazing! The wooden deck is fantastic
  24. RGL
    Deck glued on
  25. RGL
    Damn, that’s 10 lifetimes for me

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.
