    Thank you all for the comments and the likes! Denis, I just painted really carefully. Painting the canopies on WWII bombers is the hardest part for me. My apologies to all for the lapse in updates! Life has been really busy and I have had time to steal a few minutes here and there to work on my model, but not to update the build log too. The model only lacks a few more decals, one of which I need to remake. The decals were really old on this model and one of the USAF logos did not survive installation so I’ll make another one the next time I work on the model. I made the nose art from a picture of the Delaware Aviation Museum’s flying replica and got the tail number of the original from their website. I cropped one of their photos and resized it in Word. I need to install the tail number that I also printed off. I still need to finish the props and install them. The last step will be final detailing. I broke the pitot tube off, so I need to make another one out of wire, but that will be one of the last steps.

    Why your last Amati model? I have never built one of their kits, but I bought a set of their Victory Models line of plans (HMS Revenge) and they were very nice, and the instruction booklet that came with it was very complete. Their Pegasus is one of their Victory Models line so I’d bet it is a very nice kit. Plus, I think those were designed by Chris Watton and his stuff is superb.

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.
