I recently sold an ER20 Collet Chuck on EBAY, and the buyer thought the Locking
Nut on the chuck was faulty, he thought that it was NOT machined properly on
the inside. I had to explain that this was normal, as the eccentric lip inside
was to remove the collet after using! How many ...

At long last I'm ready to take my modeling up a few notches by using an
airbrush.
A while back I purchased an Aztek A470 airbrush kit and a good
compressor from my local hobby shop.

I saw a fax from a US wholesaler while working in the model shop on Sat, i
was saying to my boss what would sell that isnt generally available in the
UK so i have to get from the US myself.
Anyway got me thinking, after speaking to a wholesaler in CT area and how i

apart from spartan details and lame turrets, is the basic
shape ok?

Does anyone know where I could obtain some instructions for a 1971
Hemi Cuda. It's  revell-monogram brand. I spilled some paint all over

This has to ba a joke right?

I have just finished assembling Dragon's Sherman Vc Firefly.  I don't think
that it was painted olive drab as were U.S. tanks.  Seems that I have read
or heard of a British Bronze Green that was used on their armor.  Does
anyone know and do you also know a commercial paint color ...

I need it really bad, and I'm willing to pay double what it's worth to have
it.

Purchased this kit recently, hoping it would have deployed slats as the 1/72
scale version does.  NOT--the slats are molded in the retracted position.
Also, the scribing seems a bit light and, at times, indistinct.  Not a major
issue, but I like the smaller kit of the slatted "E" a ...

I'm looking for some material that has the same characteristics as the
olive/tan colored linoleum you find in art supply stores. I.e. - can
be precisely sanded, readily cut with an X-acto knife etc. I would
need it to come either in approx. 1/8" sheets or be readily mixable so

Does anyone know where to find plans for a 1/4 scale spitfire.
