Model Forum / General / Models / June 2006

Hello All,

Well, I've got three major problems. My brother just moved recently and
found two un-built models I had stored over there for a few years. One is
the AMT/ERTL X/YB-35 (1/72), and a Delta2 Savoia Marchetti S.55 X (scala
1/72, Italian kit manufacturer).

Unfortunately, both had the instructions and decals lost from them while
stored. The Savoia was in Italian so I couldn't read them anyway. I tried
Googling Delta2 but it seems that they are no longer around. Haven't tried
AMT yet.

Does anyone have the instructions they can send, xerox, scan, etc. for the
Savoia (I don't expect decals, that be too much to hope). English be nice,
but I'll take the Italian. Is AMT still in existence and do they have a
website (yes I'll Google!)?

Third problem is that in looking in the B-35 kit. some of the outer wing
panels have warped somewhat. (Just checked the main body and it seems a
little warped as well.)How do I unwarp them?

Don't know what drove me to buy them as I haven't built a kit in
(mumble-mumble) years. And even then wasn't that good. Guess it's because
they are both flying wings, and had a little more confidence when I bought
them. AND the fact they were on sale (Ace Hardware in Berkeley. Their
basement has models I haven't seen in years, or in some cases, at all.

Another question. Quite awhile back, I asked about a Captain Hook pirate
ship model. Someone suggested using another, because it looked a lot like
the Hook ship. Anyone remember which maker and kit. It may be at Ace in
Berkeley. Not that I can afford it the moment, but who knows?

Thanks, Eric
