    Getting there...I dug out some of the air det for visual effect.

    A friend of mine ended up at the Aviation Museum in Ottawa and snapped a few photos of the outstanding model that Dan Linton built and donated. Turns out that another friend of mine was one of Mr. Linton's students (he was a high school teacher!)

    Things are moving along....

    Time to add some yellow lines.... Alas, you can see that the paint bled under the tape...so some touchups required. Green touch-up completed.

    That's Awesome!!! I have a buddy who's kid is a Tech in the RCAF and works on CF-18s...but is likely to be transitioning training to the F-35's...I see a Christmas Present option for him to buy his kid! NS

    Alignment bars along the sides inside the elevator well.

    And here we have a layer of gray applied over top of the green - 8-10 days dry time between coats with a different brand of paint used. No visible bubbling. I'll let it dry for a week and a bit and then re-coat.
  28. NavyShooter
    New brand of paint plus a week of drying time between coats is a good solution. Not going to rush this again. This is the 2nd layer of green applied, with a light 400 grit sanding before the 2nd layer. I am pleased.
  29. NavyShooter
    Gotcha. There was a hobby boat show at the old Museum of Science and Tech once upon a time that I was thinking about, but I guess not. All good, and hopefully she turns out well after the refit! NS

    That's some cool history there - in 1977 I was 4 years old. I wonder if I ever saw that ship in person when I lived in Ottawa...I recall being involved with the RC Boat group that met at the Canoe Club in the 89-91 time-frame as a kid.
  31. NavyShooter
    I've got her shifted to the garage next to the dehumidifier for a few weeks to dry out. Once she's dry, I'll worry about repairs. For now, she's clean(ish) and drying(ish) and I'll see if any more cracks show up that need repair. NS
  32. NavyShooter
    I think I found the source of the leak...and the hull cleaned up fairly well methinks.
  33. NavyShooter
    BZ! This is a beautiful build! Your work with the photo-etch is fascinating to me. That stuff honestly scares me! The crew is only 5mm tall...wow....well done! NS
  34. NavyShooter
    So, something I noted is that the last time I was futzing about with the flight deck paint a couple of years ago, I had a problem with paint bubbling...and I had to strip it (I used a belt sander on the plywood that time.) I recall that I used the same type of paint both times. So. This time around, I'm going to try a different brand. We'll see how it goes.

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.
