    So Mike got any mechanics yet?With all those panels off would make for a neat Dio and with plastic card readily available a quick build under the flight deck might not be all that difficult.She is coming along real Nice!!

    I used MR Hobby glue just a little thicker than Tamiya so it does not lock up the tracks as much still a PIA.I did one Tamy and one Hobby the Hobby came out better.

    Have fun with the tracks Craig just finished mine last night.

    Phil would the loop be better in the front than the back of the poles?it might look like a knot as much just an obs.Kevin

    After step #5 complete.The tracks had a small learning curve for someone who has never played with individual links less glue is better CA not so great.I liked the idea of the working suspension esp. if someone was doing a diorama.The kit does fit like a dream kinda like the Tamy of tanks without the cost so much.That's it for now assembling tracks a little at a time so when the time comes I am ready.............

    Backer luv the walk around site it's bookmarked did they use RLM02 for the interior of the tanks?

    Denis the idea is to get me ready for the Pride of Baltimore which I have the hull ready for planking just a scary-dee cat Russ was impressed with my idea for the stays and making them line up right.
  8. Javlin
    That's it OC on the back the the suspension base guards and yes it was pretty far down the list

    I have read the book and quite interesting just had to pull that leg!😄

    Hey hey P-51's never got captured but that slower Spit of those Brits now that I might could conc................
  11. Javlin
    It's a first for me to I spent 20 minutes putting on what I thought best may of been some 16 allen head nuts(?) on the underside maybe Backer can clear that up? I will take a pic of the region.The Tiger has the whole interior it could be next on the bench but I have also started the assault once again on the Revell 1/56 Civil War Blockade Runner using His Models blocks.

    Well do I can paint but my ability to weather even planes is iffy at best when I get to that juncture any input will be much appreciated.
  13. Javlin
    Already started and have to say nice fit thus far but just the beginning.I have another RFM with the complete interior I believe a Tiger I that has way more pieces than this kit and the box is 2/3" deeper/taller however you wish to look at it.The idea is to cut my teeth with the easier of the two kits and see how RFM like to assemble their stuff together.I have not decided on a paint scheme yet but I will have to look around here at the other builds that are happening and the net to figure the weathering aspect of the build.This may take a while.

    pics of the copit

    She is a clean build on this one but another in the completed category.
  16. Javlin
    The P-51 is "Freddie" 1/72 Hase Red Tails,the Lagg-7 ICM 1/48 like the Germans the Russians white washed over spring camo hence the murky look and the Do-17 Revell 1/48 and has been a pleasure to build.
  17. Javlin
    I actually finished this crate a while back just that picture taking is really not my forte so here she is.
  18. Javlin
    I see how it is that's the 1/2 French in me looking good OC.
  19. Javlin
    I was wondering about the word modulation then the black base got it just got finished with a 1/48 Lagg-3 ICM winter did the same coverage was far from perfect on the Eastern Front looking good Craig but Pin-ups Brothel!!😄
  20. Javlin
    Denis Really really liking this one almost looks flawless in execution your work is improving.
  21. Javlin
    Phil that came out alright really like how the silver is not all monochrome blotchy streaks here and there looks the part Sir.
  22. Javlin
    Love a formation Bird!
  23. Javlin
    Sheesh Gary!!!!!
  24. Javlin
    And for being a 1/72 you did a very convincing effort!!
  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. 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.
