Pancakes.
On saturday, as I was placing an order with Squadron for RPM's Soviet
T-60 Light Tank with Applique Armor and Techmod's track set, I came to
remember that I also needed another set of Eduard's recently released

I wonder if it can be built with the landing gear extended or retracted?
Does it come with Navy or Marine markings?

Recently I ran across a very old book in the non-circulating part of
our library, concerning the Spanish-American War. Since I have a Maine,
Olympia and Oregon on my "to do" list, I thought that I's xerox the
photos of these and other naval vessels depicted. The book was

I've posted an ad on the Home Workshop ads site
(http://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/) for a bunch of Model Engineer mags.
See details there - it may be a few hours before the ad appears (they
just can't get the staff you know... <G>), but the headlines are :

A thought has just occured to me (can you smell the burning?)
On an allied aircraft with D-Day stripes applied to the undersurfaces, is it
likely that the stripes would extend onto the undercarriage doors, given
that the undercarriage would almost certainly be down when the stripes ...

Recently had a glow-worm 35SXi fitted in the back of the garage and it
sometimes makes a significant roaring noise - if it were in the kitchen
this would be really annoying. I'd heard that condensing boilers were

I'm looking for photos online, or a link that I could use, to find
photos of Dakota #6877 during the time it was used as a target tug by
the SAAF. My friend wants to build Monogram's 1/48th scale C-47 in this
scheme. During this period (Iunfortunately I don't have specific dates)

Gathering references and parts to begin this model, I noticed one part
that is really unusable; the stand.
What's a nice looking stand for a kit of this size?  Supports cut to
match the contour of the hull?  Dowells?

There was a movie trailer that I saw a few months ago.
It was about US prisioners of war during WWII and there were killed by
the SS.
The movie is rather new.

This must have been asked before, but why are Alps Printers unavailable in
the US market? Would I be able to buy one in Europe and would they be
available in consumer computer stores? Would there be a problem getting
adapters to match US electric current?

Mark your calendars for Friday, May 20th and Saturday, May 21st!  The Military Modelers Club of Louisville is hosting the IPMS/USA Great Lakes Regional (Region 4) convention in Shepherdsville Kentucky.

Which kit is the better or lesser of two evils. I have tried to build the
Hasegawa kit twice and have now acquired the Fujimi kit. In ya'lls
pseudo-honest opinions which is the best one. Pros and cons would be good.
What should I look out for with each.

I am a university student in India. Currently I am studying the enamel
market in India. As part of my project, I am supposed to understand the
current uses of enamels across various segments like household,
industries, automotive, contract level sales, etc. I have been doing
