    Thanks Alan I did one per night took 1/2 hours each evening now lets see if the rest of the plan works out.The idea is to primer the whole plane then buff and apply the gloss black then go polished aluminum .The next step will be to pick out panels,flaps and rudder.I will then SG the pods on fill the seams and retouch the paint.🤨 apic of panel colors

    Progress has been slow but steady lots of sanding old molds/technology.I painted the engines primer,black,polished silver,silver119(panels) pale burnt metal,paneled line with rubber,pale metal(very thin) then burnt iron.The body of the plane has only been primed up top ATTM but is silky smooth after using a worn out 800grit scotch brite

    I have been assembling a lot of the sub assemblies LG's,Pit and the engines.The LG's though it does not look like it have been repainted into a light grey poor lighting on my part and nighttime on the shots,The copit was laft in the US Naval Dark Grey which really looks like RLM 02 in my eyes.The copit ATTM has been installed with a couple of lead weights just in case.I cut the nose pitot tube from it's attachment inside the nose and installed onto that a hollow tube it worked and is straight no breakie on that part I am thinking yellow/black for that part.I have been thinking since last night these engine pods need to be painted before they are installed to bring out panel effects masking and such is still swirling in the head?Too I am going black base the plane and maybe paint the bottom do panel and then attach the engine pods.Yves this plane is not hard at all to build just lots of sanding and some raised panel lines go away for me on the pods were most happened doing different panels should fix it.Just one pic ....

    I think grey it will be I found three pics looking like Silver,White and Grey

    Yves she is actually quite light in weight being their really is no weight inside the plane just that small copit area but it's been a lot of scrapping old molds you know. Thanks Ken for info but staying with the plastic thick hard plastic.I know it's stretching back into that memory file Ken call out is dark grey for the wheel well area but silver on the LG's themselves?But I know it's Navy but white WW's usually white LG but the AF/AAC zinc chromate and silver gear was it grey or silver ..I have not done any research if I find one pic grey they are grey just to break up the color pattern.🤨

    Thanks Dan that was the one part of the build that worked.I sprayed 1500 Mr.Surfacer and once dry smooth it out with a 800 grit scotch bright for auto use that was worn out so more like a 1000/1200 grit.

    That's me also Alan but some of the newer stuff is starting to grow on me I have another F-16 and F-18 SH both 1/48 in the stash.

    I have to take breaks from the ship at times and do a couple planes and dwindle down the inventory.I have long wanted to rebuild this kit from my youth but the molds show their age lots of seam clearing and a touch of flash.The copit is going to get the basics seeing how you cannot see much the main attention will be the a focus on the external paint and finish.I sanded the all the seams on the front LG and afterward treated to a swath Tamyia thinner to smooth it out a bit more.I actually wanted to do her wheels up and hang her but the kit parts do not look like they will be of use in that regard...I will keep pondering though.

    Just or was suppose to be a quick build (2weeks) went together quite well.The canopy and the L/tailplane were my blunders not the kit.I would give myself a grade of C+/B- on this one.🤨
  31. Javlin
    Some very Nice work there Dan going to look cool once the other green hits the airframe/wheel hubs.
  32. Javlin
    Everybody is moving into new areas of interest...it happens much.

    Nice one Alan!! I almost bought another Knight in 1/16 the other day "Blue Knight" but the pics just did not look that authentic?You know of any sources for the 1/16 from 1200's/1400's?
  34. Javlin
    Thanks Jack it's something I might try again it was fun/different.
  35. Javlin
    Thanks Mike what's great about it means the End is Near!
  36. Javlin
    Thanks Alan it's my favorite part of the build after thinking their is still one more line each side short that needs to be added no biggie.

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.
