    That's good to know about that kit. I am looking at that one as maybe my next build if I don't start my German StuG IV first. Either that kit or the Nieuport 28. Maybe if I hang around here long enough I"ll do a ship! (never done one yet) I like the detail of the Model Airways kits. The Guillows kits are cheaper but also less detailed. One would have to use a lot of aftermarket parts to get it to scale. Fortunately or unfortunately I'm a "rivot counter" as they say in the scale modeling arena so extreme detail is important to me. I will most likely try to add more detail in this build as I can find during research. Ok I'll watch for that. I was definitely planning on airbrushing varnish over the model. Exactly! Its killing me. Sorry, jablackwell, I feel like I hijacked your thread.

    Thanks Mike! I have a couple of RC airplane wooden props laying around so I will use one of those. I haven't started yet but I do have the kit now. Actually my wife insisted she wrap it up for Christmas so I won't be starting it until after then! Puh! Anyway I am one of those planners where I like to think ahead when building a scale model. I typically build scale WWII tank plastic models 1:35 scale size. How do you typically weather the wood so that it looks aged? The wood in the kit looks too new and clean!

    Great work! I was looking for a decent kit to start from to build a scale version of the plane and this kit seemed to be the only one of its caliber. I received it recently and am eager to start working on it. Now to start the research on the airplane. The only thing that brings pause to me is that propeller. I have not carved one before and it looks like you get one shot at it or it will be ruined. Hopefully my dremel will do the job. -Steve

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.
