    the model's tower of the forward superstructure appears to be to tall in relation to the heights of the 2 smoke stacks. the ship's profile drawing in the bottom picture backs that up that the tower is too tall.

    is that hull warped from the swimming pool deck to below the port holes to the right of the clear tape holding the decks to the hull?

    the layout & shape of the aft superstructure appears to be wrong according to these links.

    Ian, do both props spin in the same direction or does 1 spin right & the other spins left?

    would not the motor go in reverse if you reverse the polarity with the battery?

    double check my math to confirm the belt thickness. that is why i said a dremel tool or similar to reduce or remove the belt & replace with new belt so no wavy lines caused by reducing belt thickness.

    what time period of the war for NC? armor belt thickness for that class would be 12" so at 1/700 scale it would be .435mm thick, do you have a dremel tool or similar to remove that belt & replace with 2 layers of .2mm or 1 layer of .5mm thick styrene sheet?

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.
