    Not alot to show just sub-assemblies I also have the engines painted black only ATTM.The straps on the tanks black/silver?This is one tight fitting kit so much almost scares you and you have to look at the instructions more than twice been lucky to back out more than once.Have you ever heard the story of the Dragon instructions for the Scharnhorst..............?

    I did not see were else this would be appropriate so clutter this one up but it is pretty coll a Type VII sub 1/48 with forward firing tubes RC take a look.

    The copit is basically finished I did make the frames for the back of the seat on the radio operator.I just took some .020" square stryene put needle nose to the stryene and channel locks to the needle nose and got a flat spot then cut the angles to the back of the seat worked well.I am not reaL fond of the pilots belts but think the radio seat looks a little more animated.The bomb sight was the last thing I did tonight it was testing the patience. Kevin

    You do some Nice work Bob and I really like the Idea on the antenna attachment stored/filed.My eyes are starting to have a problem even in 1/32 up close hence the reason 1/48 are relegated to OOB anymore.Looking forward to the foil and paint think I have the an idea of what's going on sure the evolution will provide the details. Kevin

    Nice Build!! It's a shame that Guillows could not get a better canopy form but it was intended to fly.looking forward to the finished product Kevin
  24. Javlin
    I had a question about the attachment of the harness for the radio ops guy got this in response from the guy in Canada working on one one could enhance that seat quite abit ,,,,,,,,,,,,
  25. Javlin
    EG Yellow Zinc is the color I am going with the L/side cables.I got some paint laid and being that the pilot sat on his parachute I cut the seat up removed the unwanted cushions and made her bar.I still need to hit the the fire ext with a little more copper the right color and add cushions to the arm rest and green. kevin

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.
