I've recently discovered the Dragon 1/144 armor kits, and have been
having fun with them as they are pretty simple to do yet have nice

Does anyone have, or know where to find, any pics of the dry lake

I would like to find replacement wheels that will fit on  LAV's  and
other types of Military Vehicles.  I need them in  1/35 scale.  They
will be for that Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle that i'm going to rework. I'd
like them to be Big , but not Too Big.  

Just picked uo Airfix's 1/48 Sea Harrier FA2 via eBay - the fuselage
was nicely engraved with rivet detail, but much to my chagrin, the
wings and rear airlerons are raised panel lines! Did they merely
retool the fuselage and that's it?! Does anyone know anything about
