    I got that report from a fella in Canada working on the restoration of a crate up there.thks for the input guys! Kevin Also EG he mentioned the pale yellow which I see represented on the right side of the fuse so another color on my part in that area is coming.He also mentioned the transmitter stand was a possibility.

    I have been working on it OC but it has been like 1hr clips any idea on the wiring colors? Kevin

    First of all the Nationality of the crate will be Brit the radio compartment and some of the IP are totally different I will have pics of the crate I intend to do at a later date it's colorful red/white striped tail .OC and EG I do not know if you fellas have any ideas on the cable/wire in these crates?I have four books now and it's all black/white I am thinking white and yellow just a guess.I have a bit more to do on the stand for the transmitter and some more wires coming out of the side of the transmitter behind the seat and PRU seats were cut in half.I added a switch panel down the lower L/side of the seat with two PE toggles and some punch stock which the PE came from the B-25 kit looks the part.I figures out the that piece on the side of the IP leg it goes flat no map shoot had to look at Kermit Weeks PRU video same riveting and all. Kevin

    Encountered something like that with water which technically so is air.I was sailing a 17' cat with a buddy had one pontoon started to rise but not out were moving a good clip channel marker coming up heading right for it the tiller would not move it took both of us. No No No!The fumes make the experience lets say more levitated You are doing great work on the build and research stuck on research on mine now but have a guy on another forum who is actually part of the team rebuilding a PRU in Canada to get me some help.The guys and you have stared a great conversation on the wing folds Lou,EG and Dan great work! Kevin

    Thank You Gentleman!I use that term loosely with some you. Kevin

    Calling this one done gave up on the wash since most of the kit is raised about 95% leave well enough alone she still looks good.Thks for looking in and following along guys. Kevin

    The IP continues to move forward this is the last of the work till Tuesday get some more done then.Cheers Kevin Still crappy pics my hands just not steady enough
  9. Javlin
    I see the pad on the floor in that area makes alot of sense.
  10. Javlin
    So Interior green would be the guess?
  11. Javlin
    OC it's not on that IP but you can see the area were it would go on the R/side I took another pic a little blurry not even 18' away .
  12. Javlin
    It's going to be the circled area.I find when the company goes through the process of changing the texture of the metal it usually represent canvas or leather and not shown in the pic is a line of rivets that attach the material to the leg of the IP.I have a new book coming might have a pic and description kinda reminds me of a map log possibly storage can?Would be about 2' tall 8" at the mouth could be for that umbrella you guys need certain times of the year Kevin
  13. Javlin
    This is the piece in question I have a new book coming next week from Osprey to help out on some details. Kevin
  14. Javlin
    Well I cut off the pedals once I built the PE ones not to bad don't play with the PE like I use too.I have also started black basing the interior with some semi-gloss black enamel.I have a couple things I am looking to add to the pit area thing that are readily seen around the radio equipment a pic of what I will try to replicate from another build which HK did not do the tower. Kevin OC:the shroud for the pedals is that a leather/canvas bag on the right side of the IP? Looks like some kind of storage unit?
  15. Javlin
    This front is coming together I now have some of my belts today arrived the Eduards belts still expecting the Radu's belts later this week.I also received the canopy mask the other day.I am thinking one of the next things on the list is the IP. Kevin
  16. Javlin
    Not much to report the plane has received another cote of clear actually a few added the headrest and LG are glued in place with hydraulics lines installed.The only thing left is the antenna ,pitot tube,gun sight,canopy and whether to panel line her?I started chipping and it was just not happening same issue on the Kate?I finally realized it was my base black it's not glossy giving the grainy texture so the paint sticks to good to the silver.I then started using MM Metalizer Silver did not like it under the canopy on the L/side was going to repaint but remembered hey I have a gloss barrier q-tip and turpentine took care of it just had to touch up the original chips. Kevin I messed up the decal on the tail the lower front kill marking came off out came the Waldron punch set it will pass muster.
  17. Javlin
    Agree
  18. Javlin
    These decals on the new sheet are thick and Walthers is having a tough time(red) with them but I am getting there.The LG are not glued in and neither is the canopy just representations for now.

    I like cooking Lou when in the mood it's another creative process.I grew up in a family of seven kids me next to the end and Mom was getting tired so she started teaching me and my younger brother how to cook when I was fourteen.I had an old girlfriend and a couple other couples all hanging out and we needed gravy for something I was like 18/19 I whipped it up from scratch on the spot(milk gravy) the girls were impressed.Red Snapper is my favorite fish pan fry with a coating make a sauce of sauteed onions,celery [Worcestershire/lemon juice],bay leaf,parsley,basil,dill weed[white wine/horseradish].The bracketed items work against each other if to lemony add the W if to much H wine then you throw in the sauteed shrimp serve over the fish with rice on the side over that also.This is another in house favorite a recipe I started from scratch some 25yrs ago it takes longer to make the sauce than frying the fish. Now back to our regularly scheduled program I also have another set of belts(5)ordered from Sprue Brothers of the RB production line some for the Japanese AC also.I have the old Revell Mosssie I started some mods at one point and put away.

Kevin

    The Bird EG has posted I hope should be an easy scheme but like EG British Crates with US insignia just have a different look! Kevin
  22. Javlin
    Thks OC just order canopy mask and HGW's belts but the guy I like use sold out was RB productions that's the belts I used for the P-51 "Flying Dutchman" easy to build. Kevin
  23. Javlin
    I thought I had seatbelts nada so order those and some canopy mask tonight built the pilots seat doing research looking at other build. Kevin
  24. Javlin
    Sitting watching Mikee do things with his F4F-4 build got me itching for a little bit of a deeper dive.So,while I wait on the other kit with the correct decals for the KI-43 thought I start on the this build so be patient took me years to finish the HK B-25 from it's initial conception on another site I am still leaning towards the PRU American Scheme I luv PRU crates got three Stangs in the pics and more of those to come.Thus far I am just dressing up the pit a little will have to look at some other builds also I do know the LG on the HK is little temperamental/weak.

    Happened twice in the last ten years around here just the last time was a graze think the captain was watching a possible murder seen along the bridge and scraped the other side.

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.
