    I made the rest of the stencils for the aircraft pretty easy.The son just refuses to get back with me about the pilots name maybe tomorrow night he will have the info when we skype for Now their is a new commander of the plane!!That should get him a laugh esp since it no longer his plane he has been outfitted to a support role.My son and I I use to play alot of games back in the day together and as opposites "Call of Duty" being one and we went with the name javlin alot "point of the spear" I told him.I have painted all the munitions and pods black base then neutral grey not quite as spotty since these pieces probably are better taken care of and stay boxed up.The munitions will take a bit of time for the stencils are few on some of them.The little F84 is for fun wish I would of left it chrome though looked cooler all polished but it shall suffice. This being my week off figured I run to "The Hub" in New Orleans today pic up some supplies many paints but hey you can't leave without some kits in your possession 1/48 Hase F4J- Phantom ,1/32 Revell Bu-131(not in stash anywhere odd) and 1/72 Do-17 read a review it was a very Nice kit!

    Thks Joe much appreciated I got a little more done getting the main decals on stencils tomorrow.

    So is that were the pics are from?I have only been once back when I was kid 14 and I think we hit the history(dinosaurs) not enough time for both and at that point and time my ambition was to be an archeologist.

    So you do build looking good thus far Mike and those pics look like they came from the NAS in Pensacola a nice museum been there a few times.

    I can't believe the wind and rain continues to happen 30hrs now of rain 7.9" and winds from 25-48mph and of that probably 15/20hrs was 30/48mph lot more significant than Hurricane Nate a couple years ago!Well you can see the trip to head out got cancelled due to the weather just as bad in Gainesville rain wise if not worst so figured could get some time in the shop so we have progress I like the black base panel lines in the Neutral Grey show up well and got the uneven coverage like weathered some.It's starting to look the part Kevin

    Craig like the looks of the kit/build coming along very Nicely! Kevin

    She came out looking good Carl but what's the story behind the 1/48? Kevin
  12. Javlin
    Finally I got some motivation to move on this one ...all the right gizmos I Hope!I started the day by liquid masking all the lights and finishing up the copit.The canopy is the clear supplied with the kit #802 is smoked and it's tacked in with SG.The whole plane got a coat of black lacquer primer by Alclad including the wheel wells.The wheel wells will get painted white and it should make for some nice shading in the recesses.The other thing that finally came in took a while was the Avionics F-86 copit kit. Kevin

    No HTS but I have two 28's and could maybe make the kit 28 with some hacking be close?
  19. Javlin
    I have been trying to Skye and message my son in Japan but I heard last he was on 4/12's then 3 days off probably tired.So Joe seeing the layout of the their planes it appears the 28 is not utilized unless another group(3X) of missiles on one pod are used?If that is correct build the Sniper pod and the HTS pod? It's happening all this week it's summer nothing happened in the shop this week three days off and three days of fishing day one I caught some Nice ones!Spotted Sea Trout and hoping to get some Red Fish
  20. Javlin
    Joe I am glad you intervened but what is the glass box on R/side?I seen that in the kit also and it's on #802 #808 Kevin
  21. Javlin
    Harley that's the kit part the only thing I ordered for this one has been the pod. Kevin
  22. Javlin
    I have received the Wolf kit and I am still working on a correct pylon so it will have to scratched.I started one the other night out of 3X .015 stock and thought I had the wrong position on AN/AAQ-28 to were the rear box was to be pointed outward so I ripped the pylon OFF.The next day started again/about something was not right looked at the pics again Oh when it's on the L/side the box goes inwards on a Block 50.I also figure the pylon is about 16" long going by the steps.I am just about at my burnout not for the model but work/life I am tired dog tired of late.So,I have made arrangements with a couple of my sis's to visit for week in and around Gainesville FL in a couple of weeks.I have been looking at some other builds here and there but having to work through this BS for the last 11wks sick at times has taken it's toll on this 60yr ole frame that's been my absence.Hope everyone out there is doing well and take care. kevin
  23. Javlin
    I feel your pain OC after four attempts(paint) on that night fighter 110 it went in the box for later have to find some different decals or something.
  24. Javlin
    I agree with Mark if you do respray go a light coat from a distance just to kinda blend it. Kevin
  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.
