How is this kit? Have not built Academy armor before...
thx - Craig

Hi modell engineers,
a few questions from germany,
what does it mean
1. crs

Anyone got a alps printer for sale to make decals

Maybe a silly question.
Since I don't want to ruin a good kit and a etched detailing kit too.
What type of glue shoul I go for to glue the metal to the plastic.
There are really small parts, so I'm not that fond of epoxy.

I am making my second Buc' and was just wondering if EVERY kit is as warped
as the two I have lashed together?  I mean, I know they called it the
"banana jet" but making the moulds that shape is taking authenticity too
far!

Does anyone have any extra 1/32 scale modern pilots they would like to part
with, need them for a dio with either the Monogram F-4E Phantom or the F-15E
Strike Eagle.  If you don't have them, does anyone know a good site to
purchase them from.

If I got a partially built car kit that has some glue smeared on the
windshield, do you think I could fix it by using a dremel tool along
with something like a buffing wheel and emery compound so that it

I've seen so many threads about strippers, I don't remember what all works for
which.  Oven cleaner for most paint (specifics?), and a few days ago I saw
something about Liquid Green, but don't remember what for.  Is there a
catch-all stripper that's efficient and inexpensive?  ...

What was the earliest styrene kit mag?
Just wondering how the first review would go:
Linberg - the leader in the field. Great detailed rivets......you fill
in the rest..

That's what I did years back to use them for mold walls in resin casting. They
don't leak and the latex peels right off when cured.
Now that I can't do resin casting any more (chemical contamination) and the
kids are grown up and moved out I found another use for them. Jigs for

(Angels singing) HALLELUJAH....HALLELUJAH..HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH...
I regret for what I said the last time. But finally I got it. Now, what
the hell is wrong with the u-boat.net? I went to it and it says This
Account Has Been Suspended... WHAT?

I need to run a 7.5HP three phase lathe off a single phase supply.
Has anyone brought/used a phase convertor in that power range, if so where
did you get it from, what do you think of it?
Is it a static or rotary?

last one I ever saw was the one that came with the Hasegawa? 1/72 Betty
back in the early 1970's.
that would be a cool 1/32 or 1/24 kit..

It's all in the subject, do fibreglass resin need a primer? What's the
best?
Will an enamel light grey work?
Thanks in advance

Well off topic, but someone might know, or point me in the right
direction.
What voltage did fairground dodgems use?
I always thought it was very high, and a low current.
