I saw this one at my local Hobby Lobby yesterday. It was the
Hobbycraft P-40B in 1/32nd scale. Is this the same as the Trumpeter

Just receive the Gold Medals photo etch for a Yamato I've had packed up for a
while.  Would like to start it soon.  Has anyone out there heard of articles or

The amendment to the Pressure Vessel regulations to cover model
engineering is covered, I think, by the paragraph below. This allows
us to build boilers for our own use, but not for resale (if I have
understood correctly).

is $15 a good price for the do335 & p-47

Just finishing a couple of 72nd A-7D's, and I'd like to depict them in their
later years...  The Iowa ANG flew them out of Sioux City, for example, in

spent a good deal of my savings for in my early teens (60's), along with
scale model car building.  Not only were most of the cars masterpieces but

My ISP cannot do a very good job of accessing newsgroups, so for some
time I have used dejanews.  I knew it was bought out by google, but it

I'm trying to vacuum form a sheet of 0.75mm plastic about two feet

of the pump. Its a recon unit with absolutely no markings on it. Does
anyone know how I can test it to get an idea of how much vacuum it

I'm trying to create a "spinning hubcap" christmas tree ornament for

My idea is to buy a large toy truck, take off the wheel and attach a

Hi. I'm working on Revell's very nice 1/48 B-17G. Could anyone suggest a
material to model the tailwheel well cover? From photos it looks like
