    Nice, VERY Nice..... Difficult plane to build in Balsa & Tissue.....
  2. Egilman
    Beautiful work brother, very happy to see you back at it.... Not too much longer for me as well...

    I always considered the Yella wings as a flying advertisement for the Navy.... They are beautiful aircraft.... Very well done my friend.... Looks the part...
  4. Egilman
    According to Wiki the Sara was the only carrier assigned BF2C-1's..... "The only U.S. Navy units to operate the F11C-2 were the Navy's famous "High Hat Squadron", VF-1B, aboard the carrier Saratoga, and VB-6 was briefly assigned to Enterprise." But there is photographic evidence that they were flown off both the Ranger and the Lexington as well... When the Goshawk was assigned to VB-6 from the Enterprise, they never actually reached the point of deployment, so they never actually flew off the Enterprise operationally...

    Yep the brand they sell is known as Formula 560.... A go to glue for many thing....
  6. Egilman
    Well Done my friend....
  7. Egilman
    Yep, the last time I bought any was at a local airport, (and I had to tip the attendant a 20 to fill the four 5 gallon cans) several decades ago... Wasn't supposed to sell it for auto use... Regulations you know...
  8. Egilman
    Definitely the look of a late '60's gasser.... (now where is the 120 octane) Well done..
  9. Egilman
    Motorcycles are supposed to look fast, (even if they aren't) THIS looks fast.... (and was in real life) Could you do us a favor? step over to it and start it up so we can hear the engine.... Really, really beautiful job....
  10. Egilman
    Your on it... pre June '44 configuration... Also they didn't backdate aircraft in the field when they made the change to all black... (the scheme was production only going forward) I agree, the aircraft in the Museum is probably a postwar aircraft.... Nice pics...

    Well the Typhoon and Tempests were being developed in the period where the allies were trying to figure out what was best for cockpit colors.. The RAF along about early 44 decided that all black was best over black panels over a green interior, the USAAF decided and agreed to the same in mid '45, this is why you see Black panels over a Green interior in USAAF aircraft up to the end of the war... I did the research during my Sabre build where the question arose in how they went from Black over Green to all Black, then to Black over Grey... For some reason they thought all black was a good thing.... {chuckle} Most every pilot I've chatted with says all black is not a good thing, for the pilot that is... All black cockpit is a strong indicator of a late war/post war RAF aircraft...

    Hey Jav, take a look at this page.... And it's a Mk 5, looks all black with a green seat....
  13. Egilman
    Good idea, give it a rest... this has happened to many of us I suspect... Like my Sabre, just getting ready to finish it and I dropped it onto it's landing gear... Fortunately, the damage was minor... You got this one brother, come back to it when you are less frustrated at it... Your too close to finishing a beauty for it to stop you now.... Onwards!!!!
  14. Egilman
    Looking forward to it....
  15. Egilman
    My pleasure brother, I'm glad it helped....
  16. Egilman
    Spectacular Brother... "On the road to Germany" is what my brain thought when I first saw it.... Proper period and all.... Very well done.... VERY well done...
  17. Egilman
    Yep, going thru withdrawals.... Again....
  18. Egilman
    Then I guess you really don't want to see anything like this... B-17 Now that IS a monster.... (I have the plastic HK version, they are HUGE)
  19. Egilman
    Good idea Brother, stock Pocher instructions can be so cryptic they are indecipherable.... Especially on their early kits...
  20. Egilman
    Wait till you get to the P-38, that is a monster....
  21. Egilman
    They look fine to me.... Better than I could do...
  22. Egilman
    And that's why it had a 3.39 dollar price tag on it as well... {chuckle}
  23. Egilman
    Wouldn't miss this for the world...
  24. Egilman
    It is the simplest way.... only requires a drill and broach to make the mount... They did, hand squaring a hole in a shaft was one of the first things my father taught me in the basement shop.... The industry standard way before Collets to mount cutters on a horizontal mill was with a Morse tapered cutter sleeve, usually a standard #2 (self locking taper) with drive lugs... (one sleeve for each shaft size) Can you imagine the machining to make both the sleeve and it's mating collar to be industry accurate in that scale? four times more difficult....
  25. Egilman
    Cannery Row, well quoted brother...

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.
