    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.

    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.

    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??

    Ed the Corsair for an older kit looks the part mighty well indeed.
  6. Javlin
    I have built this kit and the fit is super Nice carry on.

    I will get a pic of the box cover tomorrow for you Chris.I bought it at Hobby Town Mobile for like $20 maybe box was rough.

    Thanks Phil She looks like a Stallion/Ferrari to my eyes Craig hope the Mc-202 works out better. Thanks Andrew limited run kits can be a challenge at times PCM's last few were better. The old Revell 1/28 Dr1 has hit the desk for an in between GB on another site.This build will be to play with some new techniques using oils for the streaking effect.

    She's looking good Rob.Kevin

    I like the Italian Birds they do look sleek.I am now trying to finish an old kit it's just for fun nothing special HC Fokker DR.1 1/28 have some other decals no RB.

    Calling her done warts and all another one hits the cabinet.

    I have a couple more pics and have reversed the fuselage decals with the axe blade UP.I could not get the wings decals to lift and feared messing up the paint better to let it be.The prop is just stuck on ATTM the 20mm cannons are bigger than what was supplied in the kit but match closer to what is in the wheel well.I have one LG with a hose just need to get after the other,
  13. Javlin
    Thanks Craig even with the miscue on the decals.Dan I fixed the ones on the fuselage as mentioned before they are kinda thick but those wings will not budge but thanks for heads up for the Folgore Mc-202.
  14. Javlin
    Thanks Dan I knew they pointed outwards but figured blade down.I think I got some extras if not steal from the 202 and order for it.
  15. Javlin
    I missed this Greg she came out pretty good.
  16. Javlin
    That's looking real good Craig.I saw a fella I think @LSM use foam in between the wings/struts a fat piece then tape or a light rubber band.That's all the guy builds is WNW/WWI of course I think it keeps from sliding?
  17. Javlin
    She continues to move forward decals going down they appear to be a little on the thick side give it overnight but the Walters may make a showing tomorrow.She is starting to get that Stallion look.
  18. Javlin
    I use to play in this scale with some of that details in the day but my patience and eyesight won't go there anymore.Nice work Andy!
  19. Javlin
    I was just trying to replicate what to my eye was happening on some of the real ones in the pics but you are right it breaks it up quite nicely.
  20. Javlin
    That is cool OC
  21. Javlin
    Some more pics the white fuselage stripe tomorrow night. I used a different setting on the camera outside and the green was way lighter?I am no photographer.
  22. Javlin
    I made up some Dk It.Olive from regular It.Olive pretty close to the chips.I started by spraying the the plane with black botches then lined them loosely and erratically.The next step was to fill in the grey areas with the green then to covering the black and an overall spray to my liking.The pics I have seen of the crates was of a spotty appearance for a quick build is dragging out some.
  23. Javlin
    It's been slow working in the other side of the shop on a piece for Sis.The Re.2005 has been primer fit overall was pretty good for a limited -run kit I think my projection of the exhaust is a bit extreme should of looked at more pics of the real thing instead went with the positive stops of the mold.I tried to loosen with acetone and about brought the whole build to a halt I managed to save the build after several cracks to the nose were repaired.The MG's in the nose are from the spares box while they gave resin for the wings which will be discarded for metal tubing.I still need to see if I have a suitable color for the top in the stash.

    She is coming along Nicely Mike man I wish I could do 1/700 just so small.

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.
