I got a leadscrew nut assembly (from Myford) for my Super7 and it does
not fit (It's not even close). The dovetails at the back of the
half-nuts are a completely different pitch than on my machine so I
can't slide the nuts into my apron. Also, the nut inside appears to be

Hey I'm gathering a little info for a 1/48 conversion and it appears there are

museum might be able take some pictures for me? I only have 2 pictures, one
from the Osprey Panther Variants 1942-1945 and one in ...

are there and models/scratches of the paris gun online?

Just wondering what differences there are between an B-17 "E" interior

though, with a long list of resin U-2 parts available in 1/48 scale from
Cutting Edge. Included in the list is item 48-299: ...

a lightly used model being disposed of at work.
I can't imagine that they will want much money for it. I could enquire if

Who's got experience with this one? It looks like the only choice for
