A few years ago I bought some etched brass handles for 1/72 scale
Russian K36 ejection seats.

(good) LAU-68s in 72nd? (The LAU-68 also goes by the name of M260 in

Hi all, need some advice.  I need to bore a 100mm diameter hole 200mm deep
in a chunk of Aluminim in my lathe.  The boring bar I have is just not up to
it (to short and deflects far to much), and I was wondering if there where
any better options than the standard boring bar, ...

I'm pretty sure they did the GT with the foglights, the ground effects and
rest of the busy work - but did they ever shoot the cleaned up LX version?
I hooked my nephew up with a '90 model 5.0 LX for his first ride, I thought

making an authentic scale model of a Horse Drawn Vehicle. A Ledge Caravan or

I'm gradually coming to learn all the variants on a theme when it
comes to machine tool tapers, but I still can't quite see what the
