Checking in guys all went well for us at 30'N MS storm was about 60miles further W @30N than my thoughts 60miles further made a big difference.The weather yesterday was weird all Day 25mph sustained winds with gust to 30/35mph this went on for about 36 hours @ 10.5/11 inches of rain since Sunday this area handles that very well though 10" in one day not so well.The county lost about 58K without power I never did and sometimes if God sneezes right power goes out in this ole neighborhood but maybe Zeta last year weeded out the bad transformers?Zeta had me doing ALL three roofs on the property.Thks for the prayers fellas God knows we all need them these days. If you have not seen this is Port Fourchon were Ida crossed 140/150 mph sustained they clocked a 175mph Gust

Thks EG and now a tidbit for Craig.The pilot of White 15 was a LT Semyon Ivanovich Rogovol who accrue 5 victories in this plane all against the formidable FW-190.He was assigned to the 64Guards Fighter Regiment(GIAP),4 Guards Fighter Division (GIAD),2nd Baltic Front,Autumn 1944.The plane was presented to LT Rogovol by sailors of Amur River Flotilla in the Far East. I did a search of his career but the only little nugget I found was all the kills were FW-190's a well developed a/c in 1944/45.

I have got some paint and she has been glossed.The color of the blue was a bit to conjure up not many manufactures make it and the chip was darker than RLM78 but this dark? I for the second time used blue tac and did not care for the results it came out light in some areas and fine in others and then it left a grease line in some of the light grey.So,I had to go back and freehand every dk grey line and then retouch the lt.grey lines were the grease mark remained so then I just free-handed the blue.I should of just free-handed the whole plane like usual would of saved me about and hour the Badger Renegade airbrush is quite capable and up to the job.The freehand was done @25psi and the mixture consistency of whole milk.

Well got some white on the spinner as a backdrop for the red and went on the hunt for seams found some in the tail ,behind the pit and the left wing all quick.I am thinking of going closed canopy on this something about the shape lends itself to that direction? That's all for a couple day methinks back to the treadmill tomorrow bright and early.

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.
