    Fokker D.VII by ccoyle - FINISHED - Kartonowa Kolekcja - 1/33 - CARD

    Fuselage assembly continues. First we have the traditional "take a good like now while you still can" photo before the cockpit gets zipped up. The control stick and rudder pedals are supplied as 2D parts. The pedals will be the less visible of the two on the finished model, so I left them alone, but I felt compelled to replace the stick with a scratch-built replacement made from styrene rod.

    Fuselage sides added, along with the rudimentary engine cylinders.

    The fuselage bottom is rounded and makes no provision for proper fitting to the straight fuselage sides. I added locator strips made from scrap card.

    That's it for now!

    That looks quite sturdy  with that thickness  of card.

    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.

    Boeing  employee?    What a place to be to watch planes.

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.
