Gents, was hoping someone might have an answer to a question - I've
picked up a couple of 1/72 aircraft in MRC boxes - square boxes not
unlike the old Revell Collector's Choice series in size, but these are
simpler, white background boxes with color illustrations of the

Greetings, all!
I've decided to give Bare Metal Foil a try instead of my usual masking
medium on the canopy of my current project. I already see that the BMF
leaves residue behind when it is removed. I will be using Tamiya Acrylics to

I have an old unfinished Comet Miniatures model of Jules Verne's Nautilus
that is 12 inches long (scale is about 1/232). It looks simular to the Walt
Disney's version of the submarine.
I was wondering how to make the interior of the Salon and Wheelhouse ( just

I'd like to get this classic to give as a gift. IIRC there were two
versions, one larger and more detailed, even including a detailed
captain's quarters. I checked at Squadron and saw there were two
offered. One from Revell/Monogram USA and one from Revell Germany. The

I was digging through the stash in storage and came across the Tamiya 1/48 Zero
and 109E-4/7.  Hadn't opened the boxes yet, so I thought I'd take a look.  I

boat, the Tamiya Vosper MTB or the 1/350 ships.

I've noted that in the Tamiya video tutorial on painting window frames you
have to cut along the window frame with a design knife before painting. May
I know why this must be done?
Thanks in advance.

I need to bend some sheet metal - not big bits so I was contemplating,
forgive me here, the small one sold by Machine Mart.
Being wary of most stuff from Machine Mart can anyone tell me if it's
OK.

der dicke, were any other painted?

Er indoors has decided that I will build her a skeleton clock. (She came up
to Harrogate and saw one up there... that'll teach me...). I am looking for
any information. I don't want to buy a kit as that is not the same as
manafuacturing one. I want to add a little bit of uniqueness ...

Hi again.
I'm building the Hasegawa M24 Chaffee in 1/72, and while it will stand
alone when finished, I want to create a small scene for it to rest on.
Since I've learned this tank came into use at the very end of the war, I
