Anybody have any good references to books were I'll find detailed
colorplates for paintschemes and markings for my BF-110 C3/C4 Zerstörer
(1/72 Italeri kit).

Qustion one - The new 1/48th Tamiya Sherman is listed as a M4.  Does
anyone know if it is a M4A1 or a M4A3 or a M4 something else.  It would
also be neat to know if it is a welded or cast hull and the gun caliber
would be 75mm / 76mm / 105mm?  I guess that's more than one ...

Has anyone seen the new 1/48 Hasegawa P-40E yet?  If so, can anyone comment
on the cockpit?  The Hyperscale review claims that it is very good indeed,
while others that I have read claim the instrument panel and seat are good,
while the rest in barely adequate.  I want to build a ...

After a few years away from this news group I finally set up my new PC to
log back in.
You guys miss me?? Want to hear some hunting stories?/
I bet the guy in Belgium that hates me does!

I finally found a mini compressor that works with my badger airbrush.
it's fun but the fumes get in the way although I am working in an open
area.
I came across this annoying problem.

I'm making a display case for a mobile phone. I'm going to make a block of
clear casting resin, inside will be the phone and beneath that a air bubble.
Does anyone know how I could insert one?
Thanks Michael

across the nose of the He-111's so that no Balloon cables would get
caught in the props. Is there a Kit of this Bar in any kind scale.
Would there be one in 1/48 or if not has anyone , that you know of ,

Yes this is my second post today but am trying to get something cleared
up.
I have been spraying createx acrylics and cannot seem to find a
consistent method for getting the paints to spray for me. After

here's a question that is not 100% model related, but may be.
I have a small white plastic gear (nylon I think) that is pressed on a metal
shaft from a motor.  The gear cracked between the teeth so it spins loosely
on the shaft when friction is applied.  Any way to glue this gear ...

Hey all,
I got the April 2005 edition of  Fine Scale Modeler today.  It has a list of
kits to be issued and re-issued this year.  One of the re-issues from Revell
AG (Germany) for April release is the 1/400 C-3 Freighter, Hawaiian Pilot.

anyone have any links to info on what this aircraft might have looked like -
configuration, camo scheme etc?

This month's SMO flyer lists the MiniHobbyModel USS Enterprise CVN-65 in
1/350 scale.  The ad says "full hull or waterline".  I remember someone
saying on rms that MiniHobbyModels were re-pops of Tamiya kits.  However,
the Tamiya Enterprise comes full hull only.  Is this MiniHobby ...
