    Sorry about the end to your career and medical discharge. Hope you have things sorted for you going into 2023. Enjoy your new tools from the “Admiral”! 😉

    Oooh, now if one thing can be forgiven for “accidentally on a purpose” being included in a delivery, then a Hawker Sea Fury would do it! 🤣 Blimey wish someone would do a big scale un! 😉
  3. AJohnson
    Very nicely done! 👏

    Hi Dave, those multi-hand clamp thingies are very useful, don't know how I got on without one before! 🤦‍♂️ You are making fine progress once more. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year!

    Hi Gang, It has been a little while since the last update, but RL. (nothing dramatic, just work, chores etc.) and a general lack of enthusiasm for this kit has slowed progress down recently. But I have pushed on as I have developed the knack over the years for not finishing projects and I'm in the mode of tidying up a few of these still! This kit is one of Airfix's poorest more recent moulds and has a fair few errors on it and general lack of detail; especially compared to their more recent 1/72 Harrier GR.1, a much better kit. So I have not really put my best efforts into this one, it may live on the top shelf when done. Anyway, grumble over - we are nearly ready for the decals 😁 Just need the gloss coat to cure. Next update will probably be the big reveal as not a lot left to do, just glue on the wing pylons, fuel tanks and canopy, plus the tiny pitot tube and aerials. I just would like to finish by saying "thank you" for all the likes and comments and I wish you all a Happy Christmas and very best wishes for 2023!

    Well the news over on the “Vanguard Models” thread has put this one to bed for me at least! 😃

    Hi all, I did get a reply from John Wright today and he said the they still intend to release the Surprise kit, but other business priorities have take over and they are very short of production space. They hopefully fixing that in a few months, but no date for when they’ll then be starting on Surprise, so my guess is it won’t be 2023….

    Know how you feel Edward my SHAR has been been sadly neglected this last week or so, don’t know where time goes!

    Welcome to MSW Mike.

    Congratulations B.E. on another great build

    Another great build Chris!

    @Beef Wellington @DaveBaxt oh I know what's going on here! - you are trying to shame me into restarting my "Bounty"! 🤣 Well yes, I did lose my mojo with it and "proper" model ship building for a while and then got distracted by some card models (all Chris Coyle's fault! 😁) and then thought I better tidy up some half-built/started Airfix kits that have been gathering dust. All excuses I know, I'm suitably chastised! I am on my last Airfix to finish now, but will swing back to "Bounty" via finishing my "Nisha" soon I promise... Is this my first brush with the MSW Build-log police? (joking! - but Jason & Dave thank you both very much for dusting off this neglected thread and your kind words!)
  22. AJohnson
    Yes, another fine Snake build to copy - when I get going! 😁
  23. AJohnson
    Hi Kev, Those are some really fine enhancements I’ve spotted and may try to replicate those on my build when I get back to it. How are you doing with yours? love to see your progress. 😁
  24. AJohnson
    Fortunately they still are, I have gone through all the ones listed in the old link (hunting for snippets about Scylla) and they all are still available on RMG. Although laborious, typing in the reference codes for the plans still works. I use RMG a fair bit (mostly out of idle curiosity) it is a huge repository, just not very user friendly! 😑

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.
