    I have been wanting to build this kit for some time, but the instructions kept me from trying. Then someone suggested Fotki.com and problem solved. But, I was still missing the whitewalls and like magic, after many searches, the whitewalls were on ebay, hurray! I decided on a Burgundy body on Black fenders and frame. Right now, I'm trying to get the body tight to the rear fenders.

    I started working on the engine and put a coat of semigloss on the chrome sprue to make it look a little less toy like.

    I got this kit a long time ago and it was missing the instruction manual and the four whitewall insert parts for the tires. So it sat in my stash pile, until I found the whitewalls on ebay for $15. Still waiting on the parts, but I found the instruction at Fotki. Now, the instructions for some reason don't show steps 1 thru 8, but I think I can make it work. So, here we go!

    Are you trying to not spoil the finish?

    I remember my mom complaining when 'ethyl' hit 35 cents a gallon and a dollar didn't buy three gallons anymore! Gas was cheap and plentiful. I remember when three out of four corners of every intersection was a gas station as well.

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.
