Have just acquired a Tamiya 1/35 Porsche King Tiger from eBay.  Were all
the Porsche Tigers fitted with Zimmerit?  
I'm planning to use the Voyager Models PE set with this kit; if Zimmerit
is required at what stage should I add it, before or after detailing with

Elsewhere on this group someone asked about a scale conversion calculator,
and it's not the first time it's been requested either.  I've always thought
this an odd thing, admitting that you aren't able to perform calculations

Any word if Revell-Monogram plans to go forward with the release of the 1/48
Super Hornet this month?
Also, I saw an ad for a 1/48 Hasegawa Super Hornet. Is this a Hasegawa new

I have the new Aero sheet on B of B Spitfires featuring DW*K.  The
sheet correctly shows the "DW" in front of the roundel on the port

screen printing. This is just a hobby run of a few boards but I wanted them
black. Has anyone ever or seen reference to say die or vinyl dye being used?

I need to cut four identical perfect circles that are slightly smaller
than a dime.  This is too big for a punch, and too small to use a
compass.  The only templates I have for circles currently are plastic,
and I doubt I could scribe one circle before trashing the template.

I just cam across the maxnc complete cnc mini mill. It works out a
around £640. Looks about as good as a taig, slightly more sturdy that
sherline mill. Although shipping hurts, around £150
