    Evening all, we bit of progress - the bird has wings - I started off painting/weathering the wheel wells, then the wing assemblies where contstructed, then glued in place, I tiny bit of putty in a hair line gap - but not a bad fit, still needs a bit of sanding to blend the lines. OC.

    Good to see you back on this - sometimes a second attempt is what it needs - sometimes for your own piece of mind. OC.

    Thank you kindly Mark, they are the pre cut masks - just have to remove them from the backing paper and place them, they are a bit fiddly but saves having to cut out your own. OC.

    Evening all, I managed a couple of hours on the hawk, I firstly masked up the cockpit glazing then again using some wire I ran some glue along the edges and glued it down, after it had set I noticed a slight gap at the rear so I used my Vallejo putty - its very good on fine cracks/gaps as it can be cleaned up immediately. So this is where I am at present. OC.

    Evening all, small bit of progress - the centre console shroud painted / weathered and fitted, then there is a rear section that needs gluing to the top fuslage, this needed a bit of fettling and a little putty and some light wet sanding, Two vents were also fitted. OC.

    Evening all, not much to report this eve, I spent a couple of hours and achieved what felt like very little, firstly and cleaned up te seams - in fairness not a lot was needed just a light sand, next I fitted the HUD (just your basic bit of clear plastic) then I painted the front instrument panel cover around the HUD ansd along the inside edge of the of the cockpit in Black the rest of it will be covered by the canopy as I am doing it in the closed position. Then I dry fitted the front glazing - this was fine so I simply glued it down using Revell Pro cement applied with a fine wire to the edges (this way it avoids getting too much on the screen. OC.

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.
