    Solid build Chris, and we are in the same boat (pun intended), since I have not smelled Testor's glue since Clinton administration. Yesterday I tried using the Minicraft yellow stipe decals, but they are prone to breakage, plus do NOT like going over the rivets. I ended up painting the line, after carefully masking it using Tamiya 10mm tape, Blue painter's tape, and several sheets if paper. I used a rattle can of Tamiya Chrome yellow. I made the line the width of two rows of rivets by masking above the 'ledge' between the portholes and the first line of rivets, and then below the second line of rivets. You do have to cheat your masking a little bit towards the bow and the stern, since some rectangular windows do not quite line up. Cheers

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.
