    Lou - Mark, a facinating chap I talk to on twitter he is a Vet and aclaimed writter - https://cherrieswriter.com/ Here is a rather fetching pic from him. OC.

    I guess its different if you are painting the Hull like I did - then it wouldn't matter so much. OC.

    Do you know what I would do Mark? mix up some saw dust past and rub that in, let it dry completley then do a bit of light sanding, the saw dust/pva would fill the gaps and sanding would blend then in and smooth out any rough bits or high spots. OC.

    This is the scheme I am going for - its an all over the top and sides EDSG with lower Sky, a Single Roundel on the fuselage with a Red letter 0, on the tail will be the normal flash and with roundels ontop and underneath the wings, this was a test scheme the Navy brought in before it was applied to the newer Seafires in 1945. Its the lower one out of the Three, also thease are the latter model of Seafire with the Griffin engine mine has the earlier Merlin. OC.

    Hi Pat, I have found these Two pics on the net - one shows Hood with white chains and the other from Warpy's bridge you can just make out the same white colour chains, the problem with this kit ones they are way over scale. The only White paint i have the the Admiralty paints Acrylic in white. OC.

    Great work Dan, always love your card work - you are an inspiration to all of us here, take it easy you have family here. OC.
  8. Old Collingwood
    Yep - twins, told you we thought the same😊 OC.

    Loving those invasion stripes/bands, it had past my mind on mine as one of the schemes - but mine would have had to be painted on by hand using dull white Acrylic paint, so I decided no to bother. OC.

    Splendid work mate. OC.

    Done a bit of art work in Paint added the squadron codes I will put on here - OC.

    Looking great Carl have to keep remembering the scale 1/72 does not give a very large canvas to work on. OC.

    Good day all a bit more progress - I dug out the spit out of the box as it had enough time to de gas and is now smell free, think it came up ok. OC.

    RN used to be white I understand, and kept very clean from what I have seen on the net. OC.
  15. Old Collingwood
    Your Stuka will be an interesting Build Denis. OC.
  16. Old Collingwood
    What - dip it and let it dry in what ever colour is appropriate, then fit it after? OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    My rats nearly sent me cross eyed so difficult to keep them uniform - but you are doing a fine job. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Just plain crazy good work at that scale phil, so much scratch building delight going on - full credit to you mate bringing her alive. OC.

    Hello again All, while sorting through my little box's yesterday for my other builds, I cam across some scall metal (Black) anchor chain that must have come with my other Pontos bits, but went missing - didn't know I had it, anyway "question -question" is it worth me removing the plastic kit chain that was painted white, and replacing with this scale Black metal chain? OC.

    PD would be cool guess because its the newer of the Two awsome plane though gave some F15s a run for their money. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    Foxbat would be nice - would love to se a log on that. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Evening all, more progress on the cockpit I started by painting the instrument panel this had the sight added then shaded/highlighted, after it was glued to the main assembly the whole thing was pushed in place in the fuselage. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Very nice - somthing about early Suzi's with that dropped down fairing style. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    I think a show has to be one thing at max or another - do a high speed fly through at near supersonic but also do more graceful wing perfomances, the in betweens spoil it modern jets just doing wing slides and power turns are boring to be honest. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Very good display very tight - not a lot of speed but the sound makes up for it. 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.
