    Hey Mark atleast you were getting on Track and thanks for the explanation EG

    Paint leveled off Nicely!!

    Mark went and dug out the old Squadron book for that and paint application nothing about the wheels I saw just a special jack for changing tires.The other reason was the camo were presenting the wavy lines to the underwing but videos I watched did not represent that.I found two pics in the book about the Waspen Gruppe straight across the leading wing edge .

    Looking good Rob will always looks better to after the paint levels off also.

    I felt in the beginning of the build to much green but the lighting has alot to play with the perception of the color later working with it.I find the color acceptable now and will be ordering some more down the road.

    I have gotten a little accomplished over the last couple of weeks been working out of town turning 10hr days into 12 but that seems to be finished for now.The cowls on the other engine a bear as much as the first requiring a little more filler than the first.....maybe I should of followed the instructions version of assembly but I hate to put on the exhaust before the paint.The bomb rack under the fuse while the holders for the sway of the bombs have locating pins no holes in the rack or were to drill I look at the pics drilled and applied.The wheels are not glued in yet just there and That's the correct angle for the main LG had to go look that one up.The copit with the Quinta's is a Nice combination worth the few extra bucks.Guys RLM02 for the main bombs can never remember for Luft A/C?I have no filler for the upper wing joint and could almost forget about the bottom but I will pay it the little attention that is needed.The build overall has been quite Nice to me I give the fit 85/90 and the instructions 75/80 with the engine nacelles being the worst part of the kit ditch the engines and drop in a plate for the exhaust would be my solution if a redo should happen.

    The Airshow was pretty good not enough vintage A/C but for the first one since 2019 I'll take it.The CAF had a few planes and had brought along the Tora brigade and was really pretty cool I thought I was watching the Movie.The sound of a double row of Radials is just something to love and the B-25 "Yellow Rose" did it's part,The Mig-17 I have seen it before but was a screamer today.The event then moved from the flight line to the beach GOM @3pm for the Thunderbirds I got some good parking about 1 mile from the main spot and sat on the boardwalk on the beach with literally thousands of other people .......frigg'in Nice!!The TB's when sideways over the GOM about a mile out even though white looked silver in the sunlight..cool.

    I thought I drop a pick before the airshow today at Keesler.The LG assembly according to the instructions was poor without clear indications of the manner position said pieces.I found it necessary to build the A-arm on roof of WW and move out from there.The instructions had one build the whole LG outside the WW and position just did not happen I had to disassemble the first and start over being wrong.The engines are basic.The nacelles around the engines again poor instruction to locations via pics presented.I found it best to assemble everything to the lower wing,install engine/WW,assemble wing and build the upper Nacelle into place.I still needed filler but nothing major.The fit of the wing looks good thus far what you see Now is not glued.The LG final assembly was the high point of this area and to me very Nice and strong.

    Looking Good and Real Craig!

    Oh by the way got bigger 50.6cm better than 20" Craig.I have been working the engines nothing fancy since they will not be shown but I am practicing some hand painting for a 109 one day.
  12. Javlin
    Yep pretty much sums it up.
  13. Javlin
    I hear ya Craig I tried 3X on this one over the years and said this time it gets finished.The kit it not very exciting it's to have an example of the plane in the cabinet.I still need/forgot to apply the lens cover on the wing edge and under the wing found them doing the 110
  14. Javlin
    I have always used MM enamels all my life now they no longer exist there's was a little more grey. She will be Craig I think the WS=40cm/16" if memory serves me right..
  15. Javlin
    That's it guys done for the day good progress happened.
  16. Javlin
    Makes it easier still hard to believe that's about 17hrs of work but well worth EG.I have two Revell MkIXc each with a Quintas when the time is ready.I will be Spitfired out when I build 3x Tamys MkVIII,MkIX,MkXVIe and the two Revells.
  17. Javlin
    The IP and cannons are in getting time to close the fuse later tonight.
  18. Javlin
    Thanks EG cannons are just about to slide in.....
  19. Javlin
    I have been working this one over since I finished the Tigercat .The copit has taken some time paint is Mrhobby lacquer(seems a bit green for RLM02) and the dressing is Quintas liking these guys more and more.I am not far from buttoning up the fuse all in all probably 20hrs in this area when said and done.I still need to finish the cannons underneath the radio area.The fit looks good thus far right were it should be got to get some lunch 1:30 now been at it since 8AM.
  20. Javlin
    This is not one of my better efforts painting wise but she now rest in the cabinet after 3X attempts over the last 10/15 years.The LG installment was a PIA for one I usually refrain from using liquid mask but I digress just made me want to finish it and put it Away!!The fit of the kit was really great till you get to the gear it went downhill after that to were I really started losing interest...It is what it is! The Ki-9=1/48
  21. Javlin
    It adds Dan pulls everything into play.I am doing more displays/bases it seems I did one here for the S-100.
  22. Javlin
    The better/best way to fill a seam You mean they fired the A-Team That would be saasweeet I almost traveled that road with the Tigercat on the table now just because I have never seen one before and the excuse would be "it has hit the paint booth yet".Nice work all around Dan I have the Revell/SpecialHobby 1/32 in the stash.
  23. Javlin
    Good to see you around Mike I haven't seen you much on our sister forum either.This build and display was alot of fun in the wall cabinet now.
  24. Javlin
    That came out rather Nice Greg.
  25. Javlin

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.
