    Evening all, spent the most part of the day on the back patio making the most of the dry wather (quite rare here), then this evening I added a few coats by brush of flat top coat to the 500s, they turned out not too bad - then I clued them in place. So this finishes my Mossie "Here you go dad - this is for you and everyone else who served" Just a few pics as I will need to take some better pics when I have more room. Sincere and warm wishes and thanks to all the followers - on lookers - those who comented and those who hit the like button, its you guys who make these builds worth doing. OC.

    Evening all, I managed to do a bit more on the bombs this evening, this consisted of applying decals with bomb markings and a light green/blue ring around each nose cone - fiddly even under my magnifier. Anyway they are on just need to settle now before I can brush over some flat coat. No pics though too iddle lol. OC.

    Anyone know the auto restore series on the Tv where the same team take in cars and restore them back to the owner - there was a really nice Mustang they did up in one of the programs. 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.
