    The fuse is getting closed up tonight not much of an update have that feeling ready to move on.I had to cut the back half of the tanks to build this way just to much gap between the copit walls and the fuselage.I broke the rudder pedals off have to reattach not that anybody will ever see them a tight copit.FYI the tailwheel housing sat right on a pour plug has to be removed I think I have 35/45 sanding to get a good fit and paper thin in some areas .

    I have built the G-55 it was pretty straight forward and easy this one also.I have an update coming but life has been getting in the way lately.The only thing about PCM is they were short run kits and the panel engraving is not like what we have today but they do look the part.

    I do not know why EG but those brakes look baD ***!!
  4. Javlin
    I like the looks thus far Craig.

    I always felt EG the delineation between straight/fuzzy comes down alot to the scale of the subject and 1/72 was always straight in my book.The crate is looking Nice Andrew!
  6. Javlin

    I appreciate the interest and all this is only my second PCM to build the G/55 was the last one I did.I just about have the sidewalls completed paint-wise some by the instructions for color switches and stuff will let's say fantasy some what?I started doing a little test fitting the firewall behind the pilot seat has a decent incline molded into it looked to much it was.I taped the fuselage together put the firewall in with it aligning with the headrest(trim).I then after some determination changed that angle and tack the floor in place.I also wanted to check clearance between the floor and upper part of the radiator built into the lower wing looks good thus far.It looks like the copit can be assembled as per instruction as a module and slide in place...fingers crossed.Hey guys on the floor board right side does that look like a fuel line?

    I expect to see this build completed by tomorrow Craig it took this guy all of 6:29m/s to get his in the air.By the way I think this is Chris's way of building he thinks about it.

    Cool Alan like it whether 46 Luft or not neat ideas abound!

    While I am waiting for more accessories from HobbyLink Japan for the Scharnhorst thought I start on a quick easy build figuring 3/4 weeks maybe?I first had to repair a screw-up from some years ago weras I fell asleep at the bandsaw cutting off the resin pour I spent about 45 minutes this evening fixing the wheel well with .010 flat card and some .010 round stock it went well enough.The parts have been cleaned with alcohol and primer is drying as I type.The decals allow me a couple planes from that squadron and one other the boxart being the best.The PCM kits are limited run kits with no mounting holes anywhere but they are of interesting subjects I have the Mc-202 in the stash also .........smoke rings..........

    Mike I esp.like the attention to the flag lines 2X and some Nice Weathering!!
  13. Javlin
    Thanks Craig!I am trying to figure what plane to bring to show now.I know the He-111 in the MTO is going for 1/48 but 1/32?? Kevin
  14. Javlin
    Thank You Sir!I take her to a show later this month.
  15. Javlin
    This one is finished and ready for the show.I went a very light rust for a ship probably could of gone lighter seeing I did nothing with the deck area but it was to be a clean build but once men hit the decks that changed. FYI when I over did the rust I used those rubber brushes to remove it it worked frigg'in excellent!!
  16. Javlin
    They are isolators Mike their is actually a lot more on Chikuma than what I depicted.I believe they operated much like on a plane to keep the line from vibrating so much in the wind.I used Mike the same glue we use for making clear glass.
  17. Javlin
    I am getting really close here on this one being completed the men are the PE started realizing I can been them?Duh!The flag is paper from a spares box the colors look more natural and easy to fold.That's all for now.
  18. Javlin
    I like 3 and 5.
  19. Javlin
    Deuce looking good Storm looking bad @155mph
  20. Javlin
    First one for Tampa since 1921!!!!!!! Stay high and dry.
  21. Javlin
    Mike I use a medium CA glue sticking to plastic yeah an accelerator helps but the line to line No-No man I got caught a few times instant bond fighting it to come loose.I have some men may put back there on the flight deck?
  22. Javlin
    So,this is were I am at the rigging is completed I tried quite a few times to get a sagging line that is not hard getting two next to each other do the same thing.I finally in the end went a taut line though one or two are to taut that area out front of the SS was a little of a PIA till I just backed off an maybe try Mike's idea about some sprue for curved line on Mogami.I knocked off some planes that need to be reattached and the decals for the sternwith some touchups in paint..

    It's not an issue for you up there Eric but 90miles from New Orleans we have Formosan Termites little bastards and they are ravenous. I used the shavings from planing all the way around the shop base since mine is pole barn built.I know you are more excited than us here but will be nice to see the walls go up I like building like that kinda like that treehouse guy.
  24. Javlin
    It was worth it Craig sometimes I go WTf! Why?
  25. Javlin
    And significantly stronger way stronger.I notched my rafters for a shed were they met the walls then ran a member from wall to wall on the rafter with two angled uprights from the cross member to the rafter.I have three Oaks in my back yard one is 7/8' in diameter to which I lost 2X limbs during Katrina one landed on that shed 's roof bounced off and laid against the back wall.The limb was about 14/18" thick and 30/35' in length it was heavy no damage at all needless to say the workshop got the same treatment.That aromatic Cedar is some beautiful wood and smells so good when cut.

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.
