    I think I leave it as is looks fine just like it sits.The process of staining the the deck any is going to lead back to the plane to give the whole picture harmony. Kevin

    Today has been decals,props and wash day.I made up a solution of burnt umber from a tube and thinner and started on the panel lines and just kept looking at the silver to bright/clean?So,I started with the tailplanes undersides liked the effect just enough lay down a coat wait about one minute or so and gently wipe witha smooth paper towel. The first pic shows the solution laid to the back of the bombbay door.Pic2 shows the whole side done.Pic3 shows the area behind the bomb bay untouched and Pic4 shows OD and decals all swapped down though subtle the decals are dirty now.I think when all done and in natural lighting it will all show.

    You know OC they make a canopy glue almost like a white glue maybe like Gator Glue that goes on thick and have a q-tip ready(pointy ones Tamyia I like) damp it on the tongue and wipe.The glue fills those gaps for you you do not need it often but bombers seem to have more problems. Kevin Oh and a good save!

    Thks OC Last pics for the night engine done and L/LG together the parts box is getting empty Kevin

    The engine should be done tonight wanted to show a pic of the ignition wires as they go in only 14 more to do and 14 pipes out the back. Kevin

    Correct,the defects look to be from a mould that needs to be replaced and to many seriously and can bend and straighten them. Kevin

    Thks Lou,even though it's viral they gave me a big shot of steroids and antibiotics then on top of that pollen galore right now eyes feel buggy.What do think about the hand props look good enough to your eyes? Kevin
  16. Javlin
    Well I have not stopped working I seem to feel better later in the day so I have been working on props.What we have here is the kit prop,aftermarket which I do not care for and kit prop re-shaped.I think a little more shaping on the backside of the prop and it will be good to go still alittle fat.The after market props have defects in the face and are so frigg'in thin I can bend them so I cannot sand out the defects.The other problem if they go to rotate the blades will begin to move and flatten out possibly.I am about 50% through engine #2. So I paid $30 for some templates Kevin

    Thks Fellas tested and no #19 but I do have pneumonia in the R/lung I was really concerned about the 19 for the mother in law @ 86 she is around the house to often.I am tried been all day time for nap Kevin
  20. Javlin
    I will be out of pocket it looks for a few days a week #19 got me maybe being admitted to a hospital later today looks like pneumonia may of already started in the r/lung and I started feeling ruff Sunday.This is the second time this build has been stopped due to illness last was in 2015.

    Nice!!

    That and the thought process CD thinking the rubberized stuff for wiring once in the wheel and out.I stop here today I think I wish now I would of took a pic before the gear hit the WW for the rubber hose part at least I know it's there I will take a pic of the L/LG.The motor works had to turn the plastic shaft into it's own lathe for a moment or two with a sanding stick then a touch of white lithium all's good now.I have some paint touch-ups nothing major and clear to blend.Oh I used a flat silver on the LG with SNJ rubbed in for the shock I am using this technique more and more. Kevin
  23. Javlin
    I started building the other line and I found out the malleability of the wire I was using was very very low for a single strand so back to wire box.I had some commercial grade stuff about a foot long maybe a hundred strands together tried breaking it I couldn't but it's not insulated I will continue to think on that.So,what you see here is about 1/2 hrs of trial and error green painters tape and then thin CA applied to it I am about to paint this LG.
  24. Javlin
    Yes it did Kevin
  25. Javlin
    Thanks for all the likes fellas I hope to get some more done today all the relatives have left town always nice to see family but I do like my time in the shop. 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.
