    So the kit comes with a Lynx helicopter and the upgrade has some nice upgrade bits. I wanted to try some other options so got a Merlin set and PE for it. Bad news is it is WAY out of scale and does not fit in the hangar. So be it.
  2. RGL
    No idea, they are removed on the upgraded ones
  3. RGL
    Like everyone else, I dream of the day they make it in 1/350. Looking good

    Once you’re into the PE you can’t go back.....

    Soooooo what’s next?

    Such busy ships too, so much kit on them. I can’t imagine how beaten up they would have been by 1945 in the tropics.

    This kit has some great upgrades available, the warning signs etc really have made it a lot better plus so many open source photos make it quite easy

    The last superstructure, the hangar
  13. RGL
    And my attempt
  14. RGL
    The centre superstructure, boat deck, stacks and 30mm cannon
  15. RGL
    So some weathering and leads added using denier lines
  16. RGL
    Centre superstructure, decals added
  17. RGL
    Main mast added
  18. RGL
    Also really cool, torpedoes, these are behind doors at the front section of the hangar superstructure 9F5E4F47-AE20-41F4-8796-D2CBE37E4269.webp

    A few photos I wanted to add, directly below the bridge wing are deflectors which I’ll assume make a large cross section when deployed. Nearly all modern photos show 2 on each side but the kit has one. Also some chaff dispensers.

    With open source Facebook, Instagram and the internet’s, lots of source material for. A modern ship . This upgrade gets a bit overwhelming as there is so much detail required in a small area.
  21. RGL
    Fair but if work required on the bridge section, I still need to work the arials a bit.
  22. RGL
    Starting on the bridge, adding the decals
  23. RGL
    Shops main gun
  24. RGL
    Harpoon launchers done

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.
