 It's sort of On topic, it does deal with a model database... 8-)
OK, I don't know quite where to go with this, but I know there are a
few Mac users here.
 I'm working with a model database in Applworks 6. I've got it pretty

Irony of ironies, the kit that induced me back into the scale modeling fold
was the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX (Special Edition - Aircraft of
Aces) Series 2 (02081)- which turned out to be a truly awful kit - bad fit,
crap detail, practically solid canopy etc. - the nicest ...

Well, two questions really.  First about the firehole door assembly.  The

Just picked up a partially assembled copy of this kit (hull glued

that the only air combat engagement the Deuce ever engaged

I'm looking to add a Dewoitine D520 to my WWII 1:72 scale military prop
aircraft collection. I missed the Hasegawa version on eBay a few weeks back
and have only been able to find the ancient FROG and Heller kits on the
market since.

I snagged a set of 100 1/350 Naval figures for when I get around to
doing my Tamaya USS Enterprise and was wondering how one adheres them to
the deck?  I don't see where there is a tab of any sort at the feet so
