I'm looking for any pointers on what font(s) was/were used in WWII for
German aircraft markings.  I have lots of examples in my various Osprey
books, but have no idea of what font this is, if it's available as a TTF
somewhere.

Ok, here's a question that goes with finding that battery powered drill at
Wally World and goes back to one I asked a
while back.  That is where is the most unusual place that you found a tool or
tools for use in your model building?  As

I picked up this kit at last night's IPMS meeting.  Really an unusual
kit with photoetch but the instructions were missing.  Does anyone
have an instruction sheet that they can copy for me?
Thanks!

    I know of the CAM ESCAPAC seat and have one en route as I write this;
it's for my 1/32nd Hasegawa A-4E/F.
    Now, for my question - is this the same seat that's in the TA-4J?
Should I be kicking myself for not getting two more for use in my 1/32nd

where might i find an instruction sheet for this kit?  

the art work seen in the various military mags look cool.  worth the
very high prices?
thx - Craig

I recently bought the old  Revell 1/32 kit of the AV-8A / Harrier GR1.
I also was released as the "jump jet" in the 1980's.
Searching the net I could not find any reviews / info on this kit.
Any ideas / comments on accuracy of this kit?

One of my local hobby shops stocks a pretty good collection of Tamiya spray
can paints. There is only one problem......How do you know which colors/paints
are Gloss, Semi gloss or flat ?   Some are obvious.....like Italian Red is not
going to be a flat finish. I have looked all ...

Hi, all!
I am in need of a SAC badge and blue band for a 1/72 B-52.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Does anyone know who bought the molds to Cooper Details' 1/48 Spitfire set?

Quick question: Would a US aircraft marked with the star, no bar, and no red
dot always have them positioned on the upper and lower surfaces of both wings,
or just upper left and lower right? Specifically, desert war late 1942.

While most of my painting is done with my airbrushes, when building autos I
often rely on Tamiya's lacquer-based rattle cans (Tamiya Color).  I love the
product as it does a fantastic job, however, those 100ml cans are small and at
$5.00 a pop, they aren't the most economical paints ...
