    Would your deck planks not lightly sand up to smooth them slightly? I know in real life they would have had a lot of abuse and wear and tear, I always wanted to achieve a bleached aged wood affect on mine uisng the wire wool/vinegar jar system, then a few coats of flat clear to seal it all in. Not sure if that helps my friend. OC.

    Good evening all hope your all in good health, right then I did another hour on the spit, firstly I fitted the two ailerons straight forward procedure, then I fitted the wing tips - again glued straight on with no fuss, what amazes me is the scale cord thiness of the wings just like the real thing. OC.

    I have found your build at last mate, love the framework and the detail going into lining and keeping the frames lined up - lovely work. Reminds me of my first wood kit when I was working on the frames I wanted to over engineer everything to get a strong frame. OC.

    Ta matem had assumed from the pics posted - someone was considering building one, never seen a kit but have seen the actual plane up close at airshows in the very very distant past. 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.
