should I look for ? I don't care much for printing my ...

Gents,
as you know, armour isn't really my bag. If you know your way around US

been several decades since I last did any lathe work.
I got a Zyto and a Warwick more or less as a job lot and I've asked
www.lathes .co.uk about manuals but had no response. Fortunately I have

I know that someone made a XB-70 in 1/144. Does anyone know who made it and
if anyone has it for sale?

After much searching at Harrogate managed to find a couple of 5/8 shank
