need a 'punch head' and a 'base die'.

First, thanks to all the experienced modelers who have taken their

After I affix the German Cross to the bottom of my Stuka's wing, I
have to cement in some smaller wing pieces, some of which go inside

One of the things I managed to hold on to when our PCB factory shut
