    Now CD you can use SG to put the canopy in place without fear of fog if you wish or if you use regular glue scrape the edge since it won't penetrate acrylic.
  2. Javlin
    Correct!
  3. Javlin

    My mother and I went to that movie at the theaters probably the last one we saw together She remembered alot of the events that occurred in the movie coming from Dad .I think it was a compilation of events that in all the 8th AF to give the viewers an idea of the dangers these guys faced day in and day out they did have the highest mortality rate at one point.

    I always thought the NM came about later in the war due to air superiority and camo was not needed as much the fighter jocks really took off with it with all the colors,personnel hot rods courtesy of the US government. Kevin

    Yeah OC this kit cried "there's a time and a place for everything" this kit was it for me and PE I like doing OOB for alot of kits in 1/72 and 1/48 once I start getting into 1/32 it starts to change 1/24 is a must for both scratch and PE. Kevin

    Thanks Craig with such a big office area should be able to see this area pretty good in this scale I got Airfix's 1/24 Mossy but I may do another Revell Mustang to keep fun before I go there.

    Pics never line up the way I drop them in?Anyway pic #1&2 are the seats with the PE added to dress them some detals the little box goes on the back of the Pilots seat and it looks like maybe a tool box?it gets leather PE handles later, Pics 3&4 are the metal chutes for the ammo feed to waist 50's nothing fancy just two pieces of styrene glued to together giving that middle seam I wanted that. Pics 5,6&7 is the IP scraped down getting ready big improvement with the PE rudders and 6&7 show the throttle quadrant under construction as well as the IP .I still have to add PE to the floor in the silver section and finish the IP and Quad then we go to the walls a few bits there.I am thinking of using HGW belts anyone ever used them before?I usually Radu belts I used my last set for the P-51.

    Cool Glad to see that I love iron sights for the same reasons I use to be able to make a can dance in under a 100yds with the M1 carbine all I use was the front sight.I have a carbine built by Jerry Kuhnhausen on a commercial Springfield Armory receiver(never made production) all else is GI parts nice shooter better than my 44 Inland.

    I have heard of this stuff never used it myself and I trust CD that's the trusty 1.0s in the background? I do not wear glasses any other time but reading and the shop can still plug a 3" circle @100yds open sights and a good barrel. Kevin(hearing sucks)

    I had heard this was a Nice Kit and by the looks of the instructions lots of little bits.I have to agree on some of the PE and why we even go all out on interiors we will never see again once closed?To be more intimate in or knowledge of said A/C maybe sometimes it's fun.Lou is talking in his thread we go to far with our details when really probably 60% of my builds are OOB and what I what to look right is the paint.I will keep an eye on this one with a couple others starting. Kevin

    You can crank them out Craig she's looking good the decals and stencils will add some more colors.Seriously one day when the camera is out I would enjoy a peek at the built stash Kevin
  19. Javlin
    I would not doubt that probably depending of the air defense's there and back the deeper you go the more you carry? Kevin

    They had tracks the belt fed through the waist gunner is the same way I am making the chutes now out of some styrene now nothing fancy a representation. Kevin
  21. Javlin
    I was going through the book to learn the location of the cans for the waist gunners position a can holds 200rds of 50 cal. Kevin
  22. Javlin
    I have the tailgunner position installed and did up internal nad external hatches for boarding the plane about 5hrs of work in those 4 hatches with the drop down hatch has 17 pieces each. 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.
