    Thks Mike ! I got the Mossie today and Hannah approves.I want to do her in the American scheme methinks. The aircraft on display is a British-built B. Mk. 35 manufactured in 1946 (later converted for towing targets) and is similar to the P.R. Mk. XVIs used by the USAAF. It was flown to the museum in February 1985. This Mosquito, serial RS709, has been restored to a Mk. XVI configuration and painted as NS519, a weather reconnaissance aircraft of the 653rd Bombardment Squadron based in England in 1944-1945.

    Yeah hand paint then use the toothpich around the frame to cleanup the paint outside of the lines scraping to say the wood is softer than the plastic so no damage to the canopy.I usually give the paint about 30-60 minutes of dry time and while the paint is still soft and start scraping or get mask.

    Lou we have been open for the most part since late May we peaked like the rest of the states in mid-July but we stayed open we are now down to 750 cases per day from 1800 in July and today was 381 w/4deaths.The beaches have been packed,casinos and DINE in restaurants I see cars from LA,AL and FL on the W/E's we are open for business.I honestly think this hit the MS Gulf Coast from 11/19 onwards(casinos) and the reason why so few are showing symptoms now we called it the crud back then.The company I work for every store (15/40 employees) along the coast had people with pneumonia and flu like symptoms from Nov to March hence we have yet to have a store close and we are deemed essential business.

    First up is a very old kit I p/u at Hobbytown Mobile for $10 a Revell 1/32 Hurricane this kit is an OOB I did not take a beforehand pic of this one all that was left was paint the canopy(hand),pitot tube,antenna,tail wheel,exhaust,prop and the aerial.I think for an old kit simple build it looks the part.

    I have had a little time on my hands and instead of starting in on the F-86 I looked at those unfinished kits some 90% complete!Why do we walk away from some and leave them collecting dust?So,I thought what a perfect opportunity to finish these guys off while I a wait the glass for the new cabinet and a 1/32 HK Mosquito Mk IX/XVI coming tomorrow .

    I am taking pictures before and after Denis thinking of starting a thread "The Unfinished to Finished" something to that intent. I hope so Mark it's been a pain/pressure in the eyes,face is still swollen and you cannot blow or sneeze and it's full of blood and mucus.The issue of sleep is tough right now upright I was wondering why so many pain pills it's for the pressure behind the eyes I figure.
  20. Javlin
    I have a 1/72 of these I quit on when I got to the glass yours is looking good Denis.

    I have not been totally idle guys I decided to have an OP procedure done was under about 3 hrs last Tuesday Rhinoplasty and one side of the nose was about 70/80% useless so said lets do it all,it sucks not being able to breathe.So,I wait on the glass for the cabinet but I decided before I progress Further with the F-86 I wanted to finish those kits that are 60/70/80% complete.Thus I have finished the F-16 1/48,HK B-25 1/32,F-84 1/72 and a old 1/32 Revell Hurricane next to hit the table is 1/48 MC-205 and 1/48 dorsal fin P-47 Revell.I have four other planes that need to be finished 1/24 FW-190 D-9,1/24 Spit Mk-V,1/32 P-47 and last may hit the trash a Revell 1/48 Mosquito.

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.
