I've encountered mentions about Finnish "Hawks" having "RM racks for bombs"
[1]. So fellow modellers, any clue if such were used by other airforces, or
is it just Finnish speciality? Also, I have no idea what did such racks look
like. What does RM mean?

I am planning to go for the first time and wonder if anyone can give more
precise instructions as to where it is especially the entry than just
"Stokes park"
Looking at a map it would appear that the site is triangular with the A25 on

Can anyone tell me if any kit has the TER for the 2.75 inch FFAR pods (M159)
such as fitted on the S-67 Blackhawk?  Is there a weapons kit perhaps that has
the TER?  I need two if anyone has any?

Krylon gloss white (not Fusion) seems to be adhering extremely well without
primer.  I'm doing 1500 grit wet sand between coats.  I love the way it
looks after Micromesh polishing.  I'm very happy with the color and the
luster.  It's perfect.

I am building Roden's Mohawk kit and according to Squadron's In Action
book, Viet Nam Mohawks were painted olive brown.  Can anyone tell me
how I can make that color, my local hobby shop carries Model Master
and Tamiya.

Building a Minicraft 1/144 Avenger but I really don't like the kit's canopy
because I know the thick clear plastic will look terrible on that scale.  I
read about heat-forming thin clear sheet to make a new one.  If anyone has
