Kind regards,

I have several kits here that I'm curious about. Perhaps some of the older
modelers may remember these. Can anyone give me an idea of when these were
made (there are no dates that I can make out) and what they might get if I
offer them for sale?  My guess is, not much, but one never ...

I was looking over by built collection, which contains several kits I
built around 20 to nearly 30 years ago. I recalled a few that I was
disappointed in how small the kit was, in 1/72 as these are, as to
what I had expected, having not checked the real one's dims prior to

Here is a copy of the news bulletin from the Yankee Air Museum website:

white, grey or NM lower.
Any thoughts?

I built the original Airfix 1/24 Harrier when I was in my teens, always an
impressive kit. I remember the wing to fuselage joints causing me problems,
but not a lot more. Has anyone put a review of the updated GR3 kit online?
I've got an unbuilt original issue sat in the loft, but I ...

About two weeks ago, there was footage shown on Aussie TV of an
aircraft crash at an airshow in the USA. There were few details given,
other than the obvious - a restored vintage aircraft that came down in
a carpark.

I need to adapt a Metco zinc spray gun to use standard welding hoses and
hose check valves. It uses 1/8" BSP RH for oxygen and LH for acetylene. The
