Just a simple question for anyone that might have the answer.
I know that v.1/n.1 came out in June 1971. My questions are these; Is

Hey guys,
I have been thinking about releasing some large resin kits. My question
is this: Where does a person buy bulk quality resin and rtv?

that character John Steed had in his flat in the tv series the
Avengers.

I am trying to locate the nose art for the B-17 "She-Hasta", 100th BG, 351
Squadron. My Uncle was the Pilot and co-pilot for that B-17. It was shot
down and he was a POW. Made it out safely though. I am building a 1/144
scale B-17G for his son and would like to have the Nose Art ...

I use Klear to give everything a gloss coat before I put decals onto

during either Desert Storm or currently had some sort of tan & brown or
so desert camo applied. I know a number of US a/c had tan & brown camo
applied during DS, ISTR the A-7 & OV-10 in particular. If no BUFFs were

At the very least, run the other way if you're approached by a group of men
in togas. Which come to think of it, is probably pretty good advice on any

Anybody able to bring this on topic? Working on a trireme or ...

I am new to the group- and maybe this has been discussed before.
Last year I bought 25 sheets of BEL water slip decal paper for laser
printers.
The first sheet I fed into my HP1200 printer tore the soft roller on the

Just got this kit and in the box it looks beautiful. But as we know
this can be somewhat misleading. I remember what I thought when I first
looked at the F-18E and F-18F, looked good in the box but afterwards,

Not to be an a.shole, but I've been blessed with far better than
average eyesight, extremely good eye hand coordination, and
finger dexterity (it's just my typing that sucks!).

It's been a week since I posted that I would compare W-N's Griffin oil
colors with other oil colors. I threw in some acrylic color too.
The paints I tested were;
