    Happy Saturday All, I in no way want to hijack my own thread, (but it is P-40 related), I am so pumped about getting my first card order from WAK in Poland. If you ever do this, it will come USPS and they need a signature for delivery. We were not home so I had to go down to the post office and pick it up.

    Alrighty then, 14 days later, the cockpit is complete (the seat is just sitting there for good viewing). A total of 36 parts, YIKES, and we all know the minute I stuff this assembly into the fuselage most of it disappears and once the canopy is on, it’s all but gone. 😐 On to step 2.

    Tim Allen had a flying museum in Everett Wa and they flew warbirds all the time. From my vantage point at the Boeing Everett flight line, I got to see their P-40 fly many times, as well as a P-47, P-51, Hellcat, Bearcat, Zero, F-190 and more.

    Oh I’m in. 🍿🥤😁

    Chris, I suspected that and yes I see how common that is on the digital sites. With the advent of AI coming, software improvements etc., we could hope the kits would get exponentially better. That goes for all modeling mediums and types. Dave

    Hi All, Well I tried this before, but what the hay, let’s try it again. Same plane, same kit. Forewarning, I’m not as fast as the master on this card area forum and he has a gozillian years of card modeling time, I am a rank beginner, please bear with me. I also have probably too many other interests that do keep me occupied. Below is the kit and last year's attempt and all planes start with the cockpit, be they paper, plastic or wood. Dave

    OUTSTANDING Sir! You almost need another with the wings spread! 👍 😀
  25. Dave_E
    Fleet aircraft for sure. Seen some flying time. 👍😀

    Another masterpiece Chris! Inspired to go sit at my modeling bench! 🙂

    OUTSTANDING build! Congrats! 👍😀

    Hi Andrew, and everyone else, Yes the Snake build is on hold. This past winter, when I was planning on getting the shipyard resurrected, I decided to build another guitar. Last year I also ventured into card modeling (which I picked up on this forum). Spring is here now, I’m back out in the garden, tending the fruit trees and the vineyard. However, I do keep active on the forum as I love watching everyone’s work. Total transparency here, I was a plastic airplane modeler as a kid and that one never went away and this forum has a room for non-ship endeavors. I spend a lot of time there. 😀 The Snake is on one of my bench tops in the man cave and I see it every time I go in there and one day, I’ll just start working on it. 😀 Dave

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.
