    Hi Aydin, I'm currently building this model and your build blog is very helpful as this is my first model using planking! I am just about to start the planking but I have had great difficulty fitting the rudders and motor assemblies even with no sides and decking on the boat! I noticed from the photos that you have fitted the propeller shafts at the start of planking but you don't appear to have fitted the rudder assemblies, rudder servo and linkages. I'm concerned that I will not be able to fit the rudder mechanisms if the boat is planked. I found my hands were accessing these components through the side of the boat. Also the control horns fit freely on the rudder shaft so I presume you will need an extra nut in order to secure the control horn onto the rudder. At what point did you fit the rudders and r/c linkages please. Also I had to remove the motors from the gear box to get them into the hull. Was this your experience as well? Any tips will be greatly received. Thanking you for your anticipated help. Cheers Duncan Platt (DPTrainer)

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.
