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.

Hi... I've been following your build as I have just purchased the kit and started as well... you mentioned you used Tamiya XF-24 for the main light gray color... but for me here in Canada Tamiya XF-24 is dark gray???
I am trying to match the 2 main colors in a spray can but having hard time locating... I have also purchased several of the Kriegsmarine color set from LifeColor and Vallejo. What 2 main colors did you wind up using and how did you apply... the main hull is my concern too big to air brush imo?
Regards
