Can the F-8J version be built from the 1/48 Hasegawa F-8E kit? If so, what
modifications/deletions are needed?
Thanks,

   Are there any aftermarket decals for the trumpeter Mig 19 in 1/32 scale?
I'm particularly looking for Pakistani markings. My understanding is they
only come in the  Shenyang FT-6 kit. I have the F-6 ,and don't want to
purchase the trainer version.

One of the guys in my model club is building the Academy 1/35th scale Pave Hawk
helicopter.  He was telling me yesterday the kit decals do not work well but
was unaware of any after markets for them.  Does anyone know of any after
market decals for this helicopter?

Just checking to see if its not just me that has not seen any updates to ARC
since Sunday.

Does anyone happen to have a spec for the taper Mikron used in their older
gear hobbers and lathes for the headstock and tailstock. It's 'about' 8.1

available that may be better?
Thanks.

Just saw some footage of this plane on TV. Does anyone know if anyone
ever released a kit of this one?

Some of the old timers out there (Al, Tom) help me out, please.  Didn't VEB do
a 1/100 kit of the Tu-126 lo these many years ago?   Kim M

I noticed at the hobby shop this weekend a new line of paints from
Testors.  They are Model Master Automotive Lacquers for auto models.
Apparently they are matched to U.S. auto manufacturer specs and are
apparently endorsed by Chevrolet, Ford, etc.  The application is a two

    I have a 1/8 scale car which uses bodies made in "Lexan" +- 0.5mm. I am thinking in starting to make my own "car
bodies".
    For that I know I have to buy (maybe make is better) a vacuform machine. It doesn't have to be much fancy so I
think I might be able to make one (any tips on ...

I need help with my Sweet Pea.
What on earth is the shape of the front (firetube side) of the ashpan?
Is it as drawn, with a bizarre 90 degree half cut away, in which case
why dimension 3" and4 5/8" into empty space ?

As I was writing my wish list it occurred to me the only kits I've seen of
theirs that's non-US are the Fairey Swordfish, Sturmovick and Yak.  Am I
correct, and why?  While I like Mustangs, and have the whole series, they could
