Greetings all,
The huge 1/32 scale Trumpeter Su-27 Flanker build is complete. I did this
without paint and filler so you can see where any problems might lie. Check
it out at www.cybermodeler.com

Fun day!  I'm driving around the Baltimore beltway about 5:30 this
afternoon and here comes a Consolidated B-14 Liberator making slow
S-turns overhead at less than a thousand feet. I damn near rolled the
van! I think maybe she was at the weekend air show at the Glenn L.

Thanks for the earlier comments on the Chevelle Folks, greatly appreciated.
I also build other type of models, this is a vinyl kit i've recently
finished of the Universal Classic monster.

 About two weeks ago I Requested that if any one had the revell 1/350
scale I would be be deeply appreciate a copy I had a reply but I no
longer have their e mail if anyone now has the instructions I would
sure appreciate a copy

All,
I saw a can of Rustoleum "Hammered" spraypaint.  I don't think it means
it's had too much beer!  It's got a "dimply" texture, like hammered steel

Where does one buy manual metal arc welding electrodes in the UK - in
particular, East London?
The likes of B&Q, and Machine Mart, just seem to sell "Welding

We are going to buy some heavy ali channel for ramps to go on the van

I have two of the old 1/156 Aurora 747s. I never finished the one I
started as a kid so I am trying to make amends. I want to do one gear down
and one gear up on the stand, but neither kit has the stand.
I want the triangular shaped stand. I'll pay a reasonable price.

I've seen a review on Armorama on the Voyager Dragon Porsche King Tiger PE
set. It looks very good.
I've also seen pictures of the Lion Roar PE set for this kit.
Which of the 2 is the best one?

I was looking through my Squadron mailer, and came across a Fujimi
Lexington CV2 carrier in 1/700 scale.
It says in their description this is the ww2 version, so I'm wondering
if this is the same as the one docked in Corpus Christi.

Has anyone got any experience, good or bad, of dealing with this supplier.
I was interested in one of the traction engines they supply, but responses
to emails have not been very helpful.  If they aren't helpful when trying to
buy something it doesn't give me much faith of after ...

Greetings. Would anyone happen to have any spare 72nd decals for SEA Mk.XIV
spitfires? I would be happy to buy or trade for some. Thanks!

I was given an old Firth Brown 'Hardometer' hardness tester the other
day. Sadly it has suffered from years of neglect, most of which can
simply be remedied even if it will never have gleaming chrome again.
It is short of the guts of the microscope - I reckon I can find a

Dug out the AM Avenger I started building 4 years ago, intending to use
Aeromaster decal sheet for FAA Avenger II serial JZ490, for no better reason
than I like aircraft with invasion stripes.
I know there is some question as to the exact cabin configuration of FAA
