Hi Troops:
    I got my hot little hands on this baby today and here's the initial

I'm after a bit of advice.  I'm building the GLR vertical boiler and am
making the firehole tube at the moment.  It's a copper tube, 1 1/4" o.d. x

Hi, has anyone got a copy of the instructions for the MPC 1/72 superfort

    I was wondering what you all would consider the "Brightest" Red
Acrylic (Flat or Semi-Gloss) Paint available.  I'm just about to paint
a kit from the Anime Z-Gundam and I'm trying to find a "Bright" Red.

I am looking for some aluminium rod in 4x1000mm, 5x1000mm and 6x1000mm.
Tried local shops but not found any. Can anybody suggest a good online

I have a 1/72 Italeri Agusta Bell 204 that is the same type of Huey
used in the 1969 James Bond movie, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

colors as the ones used to assault the evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld's

Check out the MAJOR conversion set coming soon from Cutting Edge. We have a
preview at Cybermodeler Online (www.cybermodeler.com).

Noticed the Italeri Wellington on the Hannants future releases list, anyone
