    Hi Mark, no it had to be glued down to seal it where it meets the fuselage, it was built as a two piece unit - it fitted quite well but gluing it down was better. OC.

    Some good work with the details Mark, I remember the same experience with planks bending and fitting - I nearly gave up more than once - but keeping at it is the key. Read through my Greayhound build you will se what I meant. OC.

    No progress or pics folks (sorry) I was in the back yard all day getting some vit D off the sun, then after supper I fell asleep in the chair and was too late when I woke up, think the fresh air and sun made me tired. OC.

    It is looking super Jack, do you super detail with washes highlighting etc when assembled? I was never that good at that part when I was younger inpatient I think I was. OC.

    Glad I'm not building it with all those additions / add - ons I would be building for ages picking out the details with my scraper and knife. OC.

    Evening all home inmates, I did a bit more on the spit this eve as I was in the back yard enjoying some nice but cold sunshine from that strange thing in the sky, so first thing I ran some putty into that gap where the top engine cowl meets the forward fuselage, then it was time to construct the bottom cowl at the front, this also has a pe vent filter fitted inside (fiddly with limited acsess) after cleaning the join seams (slightly) I then glued it in place. No pics as I will wait till I have cleaned up the join seams where it meets the fuselage. OC.

    Hiya mate, thank you for the compliment, I'm not sure about the exhausts - guess it is quite unusaul for them to be this detailed with in a kit, in the box there is a choice of two different sets of exhausts I guess for early or late - if not a different model of Spit. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Looking excellent. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Looking great. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood

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.
