My brother is holidaying in the US starting next week. I was thinking about
getting him to purchase a bottle of Future while there and bringing it back
to Australia in his checked baggage. Given the state of things since 9/11,
is this likely to cause problems for him (e.g. airport ...

This morning when I clicked on my rec.models.scale link, an AOL message
popped up saying "invalid favorite place". Finally gone from AOL.
Oh well, there's always google groups.

In response to Prince Harry's faux pas, the EU is considering extending the
German ban on the swastika to the entire EU.  Would this mean that all WWII
Luftwaffe modelers would have to cover the swastika on all models they have
already built?

I recently bought a Revell 1:72 Junkers G-24 by mail-order. When the
package arrived, I was a little disappointed that its undercarriage
comprises floats only. I was planning to model a wheeled Guinea
Airways aircraft.

I have for sale three Wessex helicopter kits - one Frog, two Matchbox.
US$5.00 each plus shipping.  Will ship to Europe, Canada, Australia and
of course, the USA.

Some of the changes are "good" but some of them are NOT "good" changes.
Such as taking COL Teigh and making him a druken old man who should have
retired years ago.  Is NOT a good change.  Likewise making Boomer a Cylon
who doesn't know that she's a Cylon isn't a good change either.

Rich mentioned Newton-Tesla in his "Real Bridgeport or Warco" thread and I thought I

slumber (I have been working abroad) and knowing that the motor was damaged decided to go
for the deluxe option ...

Flying Box Car and is there a kit of it out there of it other then the
Old 1/72 scale kit from Testors. Please tell me a 1/48 scale kit for

Having run out of my supply of Esso Nuto H 44 oil, I was advised by Myfords
that I could use any oil meeting ISO VG32  for the ML super7 bearings. I've
picked up a can of Ambra brand  oil locally, but it is labelled ISO VG32/46.
Presumably the definition VG32/46 means that the oil ...
