    Hi there (sorry to but in) long time no speak since our Greyhound days hope you keeping well. OC

    Yep the join lines are really tight with regards to the tollerances, I thought the join where the wings meet the fuselage might needs some work - but straight on even with a dry fit - they fit fine no filling I dont think. OC.

    Evening all, A bit more work on the Spit this eve, I painted the insides of the wheel wells then weathered them, then I dry fitted the wings to the fuselage to check the fit - Impressive. The wings are not joined together yet (top and bottoms) OC.

    Evening all, Right as I said earlier - I dragged the other Spit kit out (That I had stashed in the cupboard as I messed it up) I had a look over it and think with the confidence from building this, I should be able to salvage it into a Seafire Mk3. OC.

    Sounds interesting, is it the Brassin one? I have heard good things about that. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    I will have a look in the box later 🧐 OC.

    I Was thinking (Steady on I might use my single brain cell) lol, anyway I have that other Spit kit that is stashed in the cupboard - I might see if its rescue-able to build a RN Seafire from it after I have built this - "What say you shipmates"? OC.

    Just thinking a head - I think I will mask up and attach the canopies tomorrow as they will protect the delicate cockpit parts - gun sight etc. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Thanks Ken, yep Im really impressed by this kit. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    I feel your pain with cockpit canopy woes - It almost ended my Mossie build, thesee canopies seem to come so delicate where by the slightest touch and they break or not glue down well enough. Hope you get it sorted mate - fingers crossed you will. OC.

    Hi all, right "Pictures-pictures-pictures" I did some light wet and dry sanding along the join seams (not a lot) then It was time to start on the lower wing section, this is a one piece unit except for the wing tips, fitted to this is a strut and weel well walls, these are made up in three sections each side, again very good fit and quality, to aid strength I ran some glue around the outsides. I thought I would include a pic to show the excellent fine detail on the bottom of the wing - this is evedent all over the model. OC.

    Looking great Edward - I love the colour contrast. 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.
