I've just used this new paint range from Hannants, more specifically their
matt varnish. The finish is perfect, but..... My airbrush clogged every five

diluted the varnish with water (as mentioned on the ...

Okay, I picked up a "Woodkrafter kit" Coast Guard Eagle today... and I
have everything I need to start, except I think I was shorted the
"brads" in the package. There's only one metal piece in there... so...
was this something that the directions failed to mention, or was I

This is listed as a future release on the Hannants website, joining the
TSR and another version of the Concorde as new Airfix offerings in
