Looking for the instruction sheet for the following:
Monogram Pro modeler # 5975 Ju87R-2 Stuka
Monogram #5410 ME262
Lost instruction sheets in a fire, but got the models!

The next time I hear a sob story about another hobby shop going south, I'll
think of this morning in Rider's. The corner where all the new stuff goes on
show? It's a little hard to get to because the help is hard at work playing a
Magic card game on the counter! WTF?

I'm an electrical engineer. We use  (or used) even BA szes for
terminals. I have many sets of enven number  BA spanners, sockets, nut
runners etc. I'm now building a steam engine and everthing is ODD BA
sizes. Why!!!

I have a vague recollection of seeing advertisements in either M.E. or
E.I.M. for a form of magnifying visor for use when handling very small
work. As far as I recall it consisted of a head-band from which was
suspended a lens. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

I've just completed the grey and green upper cammoflage on an Italian
AF F-104G and was just about to do the underside when I see that the
instructions say it should be silver. In all the pictures that I've
seen they appear to be light grey or are they in fact just bare metal?

I am hoping someone here has experience of this program. I have setup m
taig mill with a xylotex board and 3 240oz/in steppers. All the motor
are tuned and correct pins selected in mach 1. I am able to manuall
jog, but when it comes to running some code the mill doesnt move.

I've mentioned before an office mate of mine whom is a Viet Nam
Vet...one tour enlisted, and one as a back seater in F4s.  Today we all
got into the Halloween spirit at work and had a pot luck.
Well...this guy put on his Viet Nam "party bag" - a custom flight suit

The Red Sox just overcame the Curse of the Bambino...  Let the celebration

The December issue of Scale Auto Mag, has an article by Mark Melchiori on
the 1963 Chevy Nova SS convertable, right away I noticed the cover picture
of the Nova show it with out a hood.  So I look at the article on page 10
and none of the pictures show the hood installed, all that ...

I sure wish there was some way to get rid of this parasite.

did this halftrack variant have wide use?  I don't recall reading
much on the Luftwaffe strafing Allied positions enough to merit
the wide implementation of this, or was it used for ground support instead.

I had purchased Blue Rider decals BR506 "Croatian Air Force 1941-1945".
Among other subjects there are decals for an Ju-52, however no profile, or
decal placement instructions for it are provided. There is only statement on
instructions "Junkers Ju-52, Eichwalde, East Prussia, ...

Does anybody make decals for President Bush's F-102, either in 1/72 or 1/48?

Just starting building one of these (Tamiya 1/35) along with Atak
zimmerit, metal barrel and Voyager PE set.  Just a bit of light relief
from the corvette I've been building since January...
Anyway, could someone please tell me, was it unusual to see the Porsche
