    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

    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

    One -to- One -to- One you are a factory CD going to be another Nice Build!You need to show that cabinet one day Kevin
  14. Javlin
    Cool Yves!! I do a black base at times usually larger scales like the B-25 build up light coats of paint makes the recess darker/shadow. Kevin
  15. Javlin
    It and 1/24 are really the main ones I play in anymore if I happen to have an old 1/48 with the goodies I will use it otherwise OOB for me.This B-25 has been on the back burner for to long but it's going to force me into the other side of the shop to finish 1/2 cabinets planned. Kevin

    643mm about 26".Got six cans built with holders still got to add straps.Denis I p/u the Airfix 1/72 RAF B-25 looks to be a Nice Kit

    I keep plodding along on this one the book helped with the Bendix turret some PE parts was for the footrest once I knew that pretty much knew the position.I got the front hatch entry installed dirty a bit I think Eduard wanted me to saw off the original then install there's leaving the open hole hence the reason for the wash.The tailgunner station is just about complete doing ammo boxes now much like the nose boxes(5X).I am getting close to doing the Copit before long still alittle more work in the turret area.Thanks for looking in this build has been hoot! Kevin

    I hope I get the same resultz when I get into the Roden kit... If you go the oils it can be done I tried with prop doing the same thing with enamels it dried to quick had to repaint Kevin
  20. Javlin
    It's suppose to be the most accurate I think between the B-17 and B-24 cannot say as to the others. Kevin
  21. Javlin
    Just let it be known these things do not get built without effort about 10hrs here over the course of the week and not all is being displayed as of yet building lots of sub-assemblies.I also have a new book coming to help out on some of the stations/colors comes Friday. Kevin
  22. Javlin
    Is there a said point to start?I sometimes see builds with a bottom plank and something in the middle(gunwale?).Russ told me to plank it since it will get painted in the end.I will keep watching. Kevin
  23. Javlin
    Short and Sweeettt! Nice Build!! Kevin
  24. Javlin
    Looking good David the rabbit is deeper and cleaner at the bow?and looks to fade a little elsewhere? Thanks Kevin
  25. Javlin
    I went ahead and broke the tail removed decal and applied NEW decal to the same EFFECT!!! @#*^% So we took off that decal repaint the rudder all white again mt mask for the tail made it to the trash so I had to paint the black by hand.This time kevin glued the damn rudder to the plane and applied decal although the wrong ones for the plane it will just have to frigg'in do! I am good now 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.
