    Right another small build for the intrested ones. This is one of Edurad's Dual COmbo, which means you get two planes at lower cost. It was, when I bought the kit, the only available version in 1/72 Box "art" The RLM colours are incorrect, but I wasn't prepared to buy yet more a.o. green paint. These came pretty close, so I worked with what I got It is a reasonable simple kit. Quite quick to build if you're not me. Had some set backs, amongst others, the AK Extreme Metal I used on the body (aluminium) looks smashing, but needs to cure before masking. The green and brownish colours are Mr Paint acrylic lacquer. Works fantastic in an airbrush.

    Let's stick to this great plastic Trumpeter kit. You pulled a rabbit out of the hat with that tower, Yves, magnificent, as has this whole build been so far ... any more surprises to follow? The lighting is almost a show to set off the sub. Marvelous!

    nice piece of harware Jack.

    Something is bubbling for display ... hope it doesn't drown ... have to work it out ...

    At least you had a shot at it, I didn't even try!
  7. cog
    Nearly there ... quite a turbulent build

    There is quite a lot to be found on the Dr I's The plane above with the yellow tail is from Ltn Arthur Rahn no 433/17 Jasta 19 - 1918

    White respray, looks good enough, pitty I can't use the chipping fluid's capacity anymore. Back to manually inflicting damage. Few more bottles on order. Forgot to order three for this model. Added the missing colours for the next at the same time, saves postal charges. Won't be long before I'll start that one.. Planning a scratch build too. I found an interesting 109 the BF 109Z. Requires two kits, and a lot of scratch building ... model bucket list + 1

    No but you could take it out and pump it to the right size for a BBQ Very realistic Patrick. Don't hurt your back moving the ship with the additional weight

    Nice builds Ernie, people should relly see what you have accomplished Another small one, rigged the front, need to do the rear as well Boxed in Jasta ...

    What about this colour scheme?

    Actually he builds at two scales 1/1500 and 1/1000 see his website

    Vallejo 73.613 or 73.604 (bottles) but I wouldn't recommend to spray it. Until now, I am not impressed by Vallejo airbrush primers, their ratle cans are as good as Tamiya oddly enough It is indeed MIG and Badger. MIG is 20% cheaper here in the Netherlands. € 6 vs € 8, bottle size is equal, 60ml. A bloke at Britmodeller tested it on a kit which he first primed with Badger, and after that with MIG, it seemed to blend in perfectly ...

    I'll leave my heating gun in the cupboard!

    Probably a coat of clear lacquer ... solves most paint issues

    As I feared ... pulled off some white, despite the fact that I put the masking tape onm my tjeans a few times, before masking ... at least I've got the red and the base coat on as well. Now a way to keep them on ... Lost some of the preshading with the red and the base coat. I had to cover as predictedby Ken ... thanks mate ... shading and weathering in a unplanned way. Challenges, challenges ... who doesn't like them ...

    So what you say CDW, you pay a premium price for resin, PE and guy to fly the thing, whom is fidgeting with his helmet ( )The Roden kits are not the best, but currently the only one at 1/32
  22. cog
    Exactly my thoughts, it does oxidise, and discolourizes to somewhat brownish, but it doesn't look like metal rust

    Clean desk policy by the Admiral? And as said before me, another beautiful build. You can see how much you have improved over time, when you look at the middle ship of the three and the last ... a stunning difference. The white, being sterile, emotionless, and the Borodino all roughened up and raw. Great result mate. Time to start on space ships

    I like those skiffs, Mark. It is certainly on my bucket model list. Time, however, is of the essence, and I've got not enough of it. Hence, I'll enjoy you building one.

    Another worth while build ... Can't wait to see you tackle this one. Thought I saw it in Open Boat by I.H. Smith but that can't be since those are 18'

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.
