    This is my third in the Japanese A/C the color is an old paint out of production maybe 20years now Floquil "Reefer Orange" I have enough to do one more 1/48 a/c . Thanks Alan the build took me about two weeks is OOB as much as I could get.I lost a climbing handle made out of .020" wire,I broke off the rear windscreen doing the top wing(stepped on it) made a new one easy peasy and I exchange .012" wire for the .020".Oh I also had to paint the meatballs decals just to thick even for "Walthers"setting solution.

    I built this and two other kits waiting on a water theme GB on another forum all in one month cranking.I hope it's as pleasing to your eyes as it was to build.

    Judging by Mr.Goodbar the tail is about 3.5" and the fuselage about 12/13" of good size Denis and looking very good with all those handmade parts. Doing well Sir!

    Thanks Denis MG's being a PIA ends up the IP was the rest for the rear of the guns but I get r done.I applied the last four stencils 2X upper wing 2X wheel hubs.I have a GB on another forum about to start "anything touching the water" I am opting for the 1/32 Ar-196 by Revell and have the Quinta decals for the copit.

    It's what the instructions depicted Denis so it was. I have seen that done also on the P-51's on the tail red over the serial numbers methinks enough there for a good ID.

    Just about Ken and it had no decals and a blank slate almost like I mentioned fun/training was the order of the day for this one.
  20. Javlin
    Got some decals going down as you can see no guns yet and hardly nothing for the pit it was plain did not even worry about the IP.I am building this kit one for FUN and to teach a new painting technique for myself once it hits the cabinet it's done on reviews.I may get a MENG kit after this one of the Dr1 and play with that one a bit before I move on to the WNW kit I have.
  21. Javlin
    it's been a while since I have poked my head in this one Phil and it is Wowza!!

    Thanks Mike touch-up happened already. Thank You Denis waiting on the clear to dry now. Guys got to say had one of the best vacations in 4 years since this CV-19 came about went and stayed with some sisters in Melrose FL her house was originally built in 1868 with a 2nd story added in 70's.TG day we had Lamb Shanks on Polenta with a very good sauce,roasted carrots,greens and a citrus salad all so good.It was the first time to meet my niece's husband after ten years or so of marriage they have been living in NY City but moved S just before Cv came about He is a Professional Chef.He is not a baker so Sis and I did deserts both were excellent.We all headed over to St.Augustine FL on Friday and kicked around a bit till night settled in for the turning on of the lights it was beautiful.I relaxed and recharged enough I hope the Wife was happy we went.

    Now I see who got those AA's I have been looking for some on the net and HLJ they are scarce for my Scharnhorst.
  24. Javlin
    Thanks Dan this kit almost hit the trash can some time back been at it for 3/5 months now.I had already bought the decals and I am waiting for a GB to start on another forum and decided to give it another go.The idea is as you stated to lend itself to that impression and think once rigged and decaled it will look the part methinks. Got some touch-ups but not much.
  25. Javlin
    I thought it be best to start a thread on this instead of posting in the Re.2005 thread.I have applied some oils I actually have the whole plane done now dare not touch anymore ATTM.The oils do leave a brush stroke pattern even with me thinning some with mineral sprites it is a little better but strokes still present.I am thinking this may just work??

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.
