I tried googling for the site, and even tried using the address on the
FCM Decal Sheet instructions (seen on Hannants Website) and I haven't
had any luck.
 TIA

Has anyone used one of the 5C collet chucks, the type that fit on a
normal chuck back plate.  I would like to use 5C collets on my lathe,
and this would be about the only way (it's only a 9" Southbend).  Do
they work OK, are there any problems with them, can bar stock pass

I'm looking for a BEEFY bridge rectifier to give me DC capabilities on my
Oxford stick welder - peak current 500Amps average perhaps 200 when running.
Although the voltage is relatively low (80vAC) there will be loads of high
voltage spikes  no doubt - other bridges I've seen in MIG ...

I've been looking online recently at some model show pics (and model
club websites as well) online, and I've been seeing plenty of items
that show my modeling pet peeve.
 Cockpit Canopy Frames that are just painted the "outside" color

Can anyone tell me the color used for the inside of the flaps, and
landing gear bays on a B-52? Revell gives a mix of two of their colors
(40% leafgreen, 60% lufthansayellow), which doesn't tell me much...

         I have just discovered a large hoard of very good quality
hand tools in an old shed.They were wrapped up in an old hessian
sack,and are red with rust.
Rather than try to de/rust them individually,I want to try and do them

best one?

Does anybody know if this is made in 1/35th? Or anyone making any of
these ultra modern/future procurement weapons, like HK OICW.
Thanks,

Does anyone make a 1:48th scale cockpit detail set for this plane?

folders like:

I'm looking to be able to do a bit of box and pan folding and am also

would like to convert 1/72 plans to 1/48 for the P-40B, anyone know what %
changes it takes on a copy machine ?
                                                    Thanks

I cannot believe someone is trying to sell this. If I have built it I would
be ashamed.

Is the P-26 of Revell good or not so good?
And where can I find colour schemes of the P-26?

any kits of the centre nc 223.4 and decal sheets for the
jules verne?
just read some stuff and it should be a lot better know,

    I ask this question about every 4 to 6 weeks. Has anyone actually seen
that 1/48 scale Voison 10 kit that the French firm of High Tech was
promising?? I notice it is no longer listed in Squadron Mail order's
pre-order section.
