    I am down to now antenna,canopy mirror,pitot tube and the exhaust.The next part will be wiring up the power supply hopefully completed to my liking by Wednesday.The overall look upstairs I am content with the undersides is so-so.🤨
  12. Javlin
    I have started applying the wash first the whole topsides got a dark sand wash then wiped but the brown did nor look fades enough?So I took mostly light sand in a container added 1/4 dark and went over just the brown areas looks better to my eyes.I then applied that same color to the bottom to which I have only started to wipe off the excess.The plan is once I am comfortable with the wash and it still a bit heavy I am going to spray with future since it's more water base than anything else that hopefully will dilute it some.That's the plan.

    The main decals have been applied no flash(cam) this go round guys and when the wash hits it's going darker
  23. Javlin
    I have the camo on the plane was not totally satisfied with what Tamiya called out for l.Sand but that is what I did the 109 in in the background.I think once I get to the point of weathering it will go darker some and blend in well enough
  24. Javlin
    Well I have started the painting process on this one.I started with Mr Surfacer 1500 grey,Tamiya Semi Black,silver (chip) and I guess yellow ID bands.The plane looks like it's going to get colors from 3 different manufactures go figure🤨

    You can probably bet on that one Chris🤨

    The same process when I clean the brass for reloading with a liquid additive to enhance the process for more polished effect.Thanks for popping in and the likes guys the wings,tailplanes and landing gear (up) are now finished and fixed in place.The canopy is about to be masked and put in play and it's off to primer.I am bring this if I finish to the meet in Covington LA in June.
  29. Javlin started following A34 Comet by king derelict - FINISHED - Vespid - 1/72 - PLASTIC , Mitsubishi A6M5a Rei-sen by ccoyle - Halinski/Kartonowy Arsenal - 1/33 - CARD - Allied code name "Zeke" and De Havilland Mosquito PR XVI by realworkingsailor - FINISHED - Airfix - 1/72 - PLASTIC

    I really like the results of this kit and your efforts Chris looks Sharp! As to the fins I go opposite paint the cylinders silver and a thin black wash in the crevices for the highlight and dirty from there.
  31. Javlin
    Looking good there Sir!as to the pre-shading on a solid color like this the option of paint then if good and straight lines do the shading and repaint in light coats to desired effect works nice on RLM 76/78
  32. Javlin
    Alan you showed me something new today ...Comet never heard of it?The build came out really Nice with the turret having vague references to a Panzer like the design of this one.
  33. Javlin
    It's a beauty Craig and good luck at the show mine comes the 21st hope to finish.🤨
  34. Javlin
    She is slowly coming together fellas between work,vehicles and the build getting the least attention.I really am now getting what you guys have been saying about these Tamiya kits in their fit/engineering very Nice in 1/32 scale.The wings and tailplanes are not glued just fitted nice fit.I am really hoping to have this completed for a show over in Covington,LA next month if Not the Tempest will be my only entry for 1/32
  35. Javlin
    It's been a slow process been working a bit summer and work on the house and such.The copit is glued up now and I am working the pilot and the required harness to make it look a little more convincing.The pilot is a necessary component seeing she will be inflight.
  36. Javlin
    It did and thanks for looking in and the compliment.

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.
