    Decals have been applied I know we like thin but man some of these were just to thin I lost several.I have several mistakes in the paint all on the undersides 1) the white under the wings went one panel to far inboard.2) the white band on the tail is 1/16" to wide hint the "A" hit the white centering the "Z" and 3) the RLM 78 was to go much lower between the wing and tailplanes live and learn.I think when done 9 out of 10 people will never notice those mistakes so I march on.I made up the colors for the props,bombs and prop covers.

    Now here is the progression on the shading I did not go black base on this typical Mr Surfacer 1200 was the laid and MM Africa 1942 Sand then the upper panel lines were done in MM Italian Sand.I then started inside of the panels with the Italian Sand(darkest) next came Yellow Zinc Chromate and on to white.I then came back over that with the 1942 slowly building it up I was still not happy with it pic2 so I laid down more #3.I started on the bottom with a med Grey for the panel lines and ever so lightly in a few panel started with the 1942 and went back over with RLM 78 you will notice in #4 R/wing has the dust and the L/wing needs more toning down.The toning down and dust came in #7 I like the effect.I then made a color of a lot of white 70% and 30%1942 almost pink I misted the wings up top and the spine of the fuselage a dust effect sun fade #5 did all the white also.I have the clear on it now and will do some more tomorrow before work and let dry good then decals and pastels

    Craig a fella I know from Aussie who I would say is an expert on the PTO and Japanese a/c and docked me on a GB for to light of a shade of grey(correct) and not enough sheen(correct).I think you have both Sir,Nice Work!
  13. Javlin
    I am liking it Craig esp. that black on the cowling looks just a touch of grey?
  14. Javlin
    Looking good Chris been seeing so many HellCats and F4F's lately it's trying to make me bite.
  15. Javlin
    Kevin that came out Quite Nice Sir!!but dogs do not pull coaches(a pic) you need some horses.
  16. Javlin
    John that is looking Very Nice from this end.I kept looking at the wood going "what is it?" thinking a mahogany mainly Sapele could be?
  17. Javlin
    Just going through some of your ole builds she came out Nice Craig got this one in the stash.I am about to embark on some WWI builds once I finish the ICM He-111 on a GB on another site.
  18. Javlin
    Craig I have been seeing more of that technique showing up on YT builds.I like the technique over just doing pre-shading of panel lines breaks up the color ever so slightly.I like the effect you accomplished in 1/72 it would seem as one moves of in scale more you can play.
  19. Javlin
    OC that field /hedge look well the part Sir.
  20. Javlin
    Well Mike it's hard to say a full white but it's real close look at how the forward gun projects itself on the building.Then their is a building behind the center of the ship a couple hundred yards looks white.I think if you go for this pic as your driving force for the build white with a touch of grey better yet find some other pics of peace time no matter the ship as long as Japanese Navy.
  21. Javlin
    I like to run that stuff through my bandsaw quick and effective!So what's the length on this ship in real life Mike?What glue are you using to attach the rails and doors?
  22. Javlin
    Mike I missed this one lovely details and the deck is gorgeous bud!!So what's going on with the build now rigging is not to be feared with something like EZ-line.Looking forward to the final dio.
  23. 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. 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.
