    I have some fine fuse wire 3amp I think might try that, it attaches to the leading edge of the tail, what I might do is to drill a pilot hole in the edge of the tail then push the wire into it with a dab of ca, then attache the other end to the pe wireless pole on the fuselage. OC.

    Quite an artform for lacing and tuning a wheel using a rig with center blocks you position each side with the wheel center centtered, then you turn the nipple on each spoke increasing or decreasing the tention pulling/releasing the rim till it dead center between the block, you do this all around the rim till its true. (I used to build repair bicyles for a living years ago) OC.

    Thank you edward, some way to go yet, but atleast it shows the general finish, she still has to be re - decaled and to have her flat coat over her, then a few small bits and pieces like the bomb bay doors - 500lb bombs, entrance hatch door and ladder, and a radio wire. OC.

    After a day in the yard charging me Vit D cells I then de masked the fuselage - not too bad, demarcation line had a bit of a ridge so I attacked it with smooth wet and dry soon sorted, then I noticed a bit of camo that needed correcting - so back on went the masking using tape a bag and blu tac and a quick re spray over a tiny area, I then put it away to dry. I then turned my attention to the props and spinners - the spinners was a bit awkward getting a smooth sprayed finish as I kept getting some over spray, so plan number Two hand paint with Nato Black - so this was done, I put them aside and tipped the props yellow after masking. 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.
