    Count me in mate love these eduard kits - is it my imagination or do they feel a bit more solid than other makes (my spit feels more solid than the ICM version). OC.

    Those colours really compliment each other and make a lovely made kit rather more special. OC.

    That is why I love our forum as we are all not affraid to push our individual building skills, and try to put our own stamp on what we are building - giving it a bit of life in any way we wish to. OC.

    Hi all, I have been having a little play at painting the nose cone glazing frame black, it went ok even by hand, then I decided to start the fuselage decal application starting with the tail, this area has the square fin flash and a couple of warning labels on each side, they went down with micro set then a couple of layers of micro sol, they will need more applications as I can still see the edge around the fin flash even with the micro sol. OC.

    Thank you Kevin, they had the fresh lakey ERK's give it a quick touch up then it did a few flights and roughed it a bit.😉 OC.

    Just took these - they show the canopy glued down and touched up around the edges - also the rudder in place and hand painted. OC.

    I appreciate you checking it out Lou, I think I will just be glad to see it done now, so it can go in the display unit, so I can move onto the spits. Like I said thank you for having a look at those pieces. OC.

    Wowser - did you check out the price on tha bottom two the ebay one wanted something like £40 including delivery over here and the second one was from japan quoting £400 odd "Gulp" I had looked into it when my canopy first broke but didn't like the look of vacforms as they are very thin and look to flex a lot also lack any scale. I am fairly happy with the recovery of the canopy now, it went down fine no gaps that a little putty couldn't hide, I had to touch up around the canopy but my tin/jars of actylic (the closest match) is slightly different to the rattle can, but "hey ho" its close enough. Next will be to mask up the other wing ready for the green - same on the tops of the two stabs. OC.

    I know I said it before - but that is very nice decking just the right colour I think. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    What an amazing level of workmanship - really first class. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Lou, certainly a trial and error build - its a bit like cooking - somedays you get the meal "bang on" and its gorgeous other times you just cant get it the same, I have been learning a few lessons, rattle can and out doors = sttuck insects, you cant very well do touch ups using the rattle can paint sprayed into the lid then touched up on model using a brush (as the paint dries quicker than you can paint it on with said brush, lastly the revell canopy is real pants - rubbish - pitta. 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.
