    We are to Denis highs in the low 80's So I finally cleared one of my biggest hurdles with this build the stencils a lot of trial an error alot.I made the said stencils five times wasted abit of ink getting the dimensions right then had to repaint the fuse some for the stars were in the wrong location! I made one big stencil and saved the star now just to make the circle and hope I still have Insignia Blue left?

    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.

    I finally did also must of been the following of Versailles Treaty(the only country to) everybody esp Japan were cheating like crazy by the mid-30's.

    Thks Ed it's a quick way to feel accomplishment ATTM my nose wants to drain eyes feel pressure keep the work lite and easy get ready to fill the new cabinet.I am about as excited a boy on Christmas waiting for my glass to be finished I have one piece of tempered glass that had to be ordered in for the top.

    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.

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.
