I've decided to build a model of the USCGC Storis in Greenland Patrol colors (ca. 1944). I'll be using plans from the Historic American Engineering Record, as sourced from the Library of Congress' web-page: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ak0534/  The HAER pages have 13 sheets of drawings showing original layout and more recent adjustments. 

 

Here's a slightly outdated history: https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/save-the-storis/  ... outdated in that she was eventually scrapped.

 

I haven't begun the ship yet, but the J2F is pretty much finished (needs rudder and tail wheel) -- just a carved cedar fuselage/central float, with paper wings, cowling and propellor. Canopy is tarped.

  • The title was changed to USCGC STORIS 1942 by Harvey Golden - 1/192 scale

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.
