Nautical Research Guild
237 South Lincoln Street
Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.

Harvey, What an absolutely gorgeous model! I just ran across it while browsing because I'm not a regular member.
I wish you had been in contact with me earlier, because the camouflage patterns have some minor discrepancies.
I posted the relevant pages from my book The Easter Egg Fleet that cover the patterns used on both Banago and Calala on the Warship Camouflage group site because I can't post photos here. I hope you'll look at them.
Black and white photos are hard to interpret, and colors on computers and in print aren't always exact either.
The model is still superb.
