    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

    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

    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

    This one is getting close to finish another 1-2 hrs.The decal are giving me fits most of it is my fault the cross on the tail is crooked tried re-soften it almost lost it said the heck with it.I would not mind building a few more of these of Jasta 18.You can see the gunsight rings in the front pic.

    I am watching David and now you are the teacher I have the Baltimore II framed and faired and got scared Kevin
  17. Javlin
    The tail is black/white and so is the engine cowl.That will be a hard scheme in enamels or acrylics the oils gives you time to layer it.If you want the site with I think some of the most serious way out of my league look here home page https://ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.html nice hints for WWI A/C and the forum of the builds https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?board=3.0

    Thanks Denis it had it's own learning curve and removed some fears in the process. Kevin

    I bet that's one of those you could have back?My son is in now he's in Misawa Japan he's moving up pretty quick went in E-3 because of JROTC now E-5 3 1/2 years later.Here's a clip I should of not really posted in another thread but the base has freestyle Fridays and they highlighted him theirs more of an interview somewhere in there system but can't find it.

    Denis they produce some of the 1/32 scale bombers no else wants to do B-17,B-25,B-24,Mosquito and the Lancaster and when Tamiya does the same kit HK's are about 60% the cost of a Tamy kit.I got the Norden bomb sight in,pulleys installed to the glass for the center MG and repaired the ammo boxes on the right.I hope to finish the bombardier section tomorrow installing all three MG's.This kit is a long time com'in needs to be built.
  21. Javlin
    She's coming along Nicely !! Kevin
  22. Javlin
    That's alot of pieces Sir!Now did they sort the blocks for you by building?Cool project/build! Kevin
  23. Javlin
    I started this build some time back starting from the front and working my way back.The build will be done in sub-assemblies with so much PE on hand I believe the only area I did not add PE was the bomb bay area.In the beginning I had the bombardier's ammo cans to far pushed to the glass and to break them free and reglued last night with the nose glass as a check for fit.The norden bomb sight has a few pieces on PE to be added.As I said sub-assemblies builds time off makes for a long build but the B-25 is one of my favorite bombers. Kevin PS: I needed to add the paint is a black base with a light coat of the main color leaving the corners/crevasses darker

    Another one bites the dust.The worst thing I did with this build was the amateur work on the canopy paint other than that lessons learned.
  25. Javlin
    Well I went at this some more concerned about the texture and found I could smooth it out for the most part flat soft brush with a light touch added some more white and blue into the mix once it cures good a couple of days throw out some pics.Thanks for the interest. 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.
