    What Keith said about your own intro. Also, feel free to open a log on your Rattlesnake. It's the best way to get help when you need it and also meet other model builders.

    Seems that many of us yellow ocre for the "gold" finish as this is more in line with what was done in reality. But..... modeler's choice on this.

    I fixed the title for you.

    I took a somewhat deep dive into their website after reading this review. I shouldn't have. Very tempting to max out the credit card.

    Ah.. that brings back memories of flying in a CH-34 over southern California back in the day. Just had to be sure the "gunner's belts" were firmly secure to the bird and to one's body.

    I forgot about them. They usually got pretty wild also. At the local track, it seems nasty and personal was normal for drivers, crews, and many time the fans.

    Looking good. As for wooden deck and plastic hull..... PVA won't work as it's not for plastic. The CA was/is a better choice.

    Congratulations on a very well done model, Bob. I too am looking forward to your next model.

    I MUST get new glasses then......

    I'm in as I've not seen any of their models if I remember right. Interesting on the box art... the bird is flying, firing all guns and no visible crew.

    And the ever popular demolition derbies. I remember one, only because the driver was a friend of my dad, who entered his 6 month old Lincoln in one after complaining about it for the previous 6 months to the dealer about it being a lemon. It was heavily targeted as everyone went after that car.

    Frank, When you're ready, do open a log in the kit area for this model. Thanks, Mark

    Micha is spot on. Back in the day, all drawings were either rolled into a tube or stored flat in large drawers. One place I worked weve hung the ones currently in use on a clothes line stretched in the either the archive room or the copy room.

    You might take a deep breath and dive into the stash and see if the tire was misplaced in another box. But, the jack stand is a great idea.

    The look of that beast brings back memories.... one variation was the so-called "outlaw" class, if I remember right. Good times on Friday and/or Saturday nights at the oval tracks.

    I think you're right... And maybe a chrome valve cover?

    Welcome aboard Eric. You've chosen wisely on the path to success with the starter kits.

    Very well done and the dio just adds a lot.

    Finally an update. I'm reading and re-reading the instructions and looking at other logs of this ship. And I currently have all the framing (I think) done. About to start marking the top lines of the frames. Hopefully I get more time to spend on this project but seems real life keeps dragging me off.

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.
