    Lou, taken from someone elses description I quote - It was used from 1938 up until June 1940, half white half black, for observation of friendly aircraft from the ground. Remember that there was no country-wide ground control radar. Radar only worked looking out to sea, or at higher altitudes, initially only being placed on coastal sites . Tracking over the land, friendly or enemy, was down to the Observer Air Corps. It was replaced by Sky undersides, but in November 1940 the black wing was reinstated. I'm not sure when it finally disappeared, possibly not until the introduction of the Day Fighter Scheme, with undersides of Medium Sea Grey. OC.

    Giving my figures a small break and changing subjects I have decided to drag this out of my old stock, its been sat in the cupboard for a couple of years - but I decided it would make a nice pre christmas build. The history behind this build is - where the admiral and myself used to live , we were on one of our first walks through the countryside when all of a sudden a low fast jet blasted over our heads just a couple of hundread feet above our heads, it really impressed the admiral and was the first fast jet she had seen. So on with the pics of the kit and an internet photo of the actual Jet. OC.

    From when I built my HMS Warspite - I think the key is lots of thin coats (ok mine was acrylics) But I found I could brush along the demarcation lines without it causing a build up. 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.
