    Yep KP as Edward said despite the pit falls of the kit you are getting there, some kits certainly test of skills and patience. OC.

    My first ever kit age about 7 (me not the kit) was a Red Arrows Gnat aircraft I only glued the wings on back to front and got the canopy glued to my finger - so I guess it happened to us all. OC.

    Evening all, I did a bit more work this evening - firstly I removed the tape and checked the seams, these needed just a bit of sanding (but no filler I dont think) this was a supprise to find two companies who manage to build kits with quite high build standards - it also makes my first observations what I first started to build this kist (in my earlier build log - Not Eduard one) as being incorect. Anyway next off was to fit the prop cone bulkhead, then when set I had to fix one of the exhausts stcks that had broken in two, this was fixed then glued in place in the recess - same the other side, then I got the engine cover and test fitted it, quite a bit of scraping and sanding was needed to get a good fit - then this was glued down. It needs sanding and cleaning up whne its set. So here are a couple of pics including one of my Supermarine prod line. OC.

    So another spit on the go - this time I am rescuing the ICM Spit IX kit and turning it into a Seafire Mk.111 as I believe they were basically the same apart from a few mods that I should be able to create - seam on the wing that would have been for the wing fold, and scribing under the bottom rear to simulate the cut out for the arester hook, I will also fashion a hook and fit it semi recessed, the rest is basically built as the kit IX. Reason I have chose to do this is during the war my father cut his teeth on Seafires before moving on to RAF types. So here it begins with the already fitted out cockpit wall - I added the paintwork (cockpit green) and picked out the details then my normal pencil for shading and white highlight, I then closed both sides together as the cockpit floor/seat/insrument consol are made as a unit and popped in from underneath. Here are the first pics. 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.
