I have a set of IPMS decals for the B-58 Hustler, both 1/72 and 1/48.

again. When I was a kid, I used to do a lot of AFV models and

Getting moved back to Ft. Knox for what could potentially be my final
assignment. Any model clubs still around the area? I remember being a member of

hear they've gone away.

I was thumbing thru a book on Grumman a/c & in the section on the S2F
it mentioned the above proposal. A modified night attack version for
the USAF in 1966. Only on paper, but I thought it might be neat to add
one to my SEA 'what-if' collection. I figure it would've been in a

I've forgotten to measure the hacksaw blade length on the Rapidor two
days in a row, and want to get some today. Does anyone know the
standard lengths that they will take? (I'm at work today and tomorrow)

Hi,
I know that RAF did not adopt the tropical Dark Earth/Middle
Stone/Azure Blue camouflage until late 1941 - middle 1942.
How were RAF Hurricane aircraft camouflaged in Middle East in 1940

    Anybody else thinking of hitting the IPMS Region 2 convention in
Gaithersburg this weekend?? I usually can't make it because of
conflicting commitments but the conflicter screwed up his dates this

I seem to be a mark for a new Web scam. Some guy in England informs me I
have won a third tier drawing in some lottery and  can collect a wad of
