I am going to be building a 1/72 He-111H-6 from Hasegawa in about a month or

I have a south facing wall of my house that some fool decided would
look good with 25 feet of glass block. It looks ugly and is a heat

I have 15 or 16 unbuilt 1/48 scale aircraft kits I would like to dispose
of - bought when full of enthusiasm, but have long since returned to my
primary interest of R/C aircraft. I have recently moved to a small apartment
so really haven't the space to store unwanted models any ...

I had a query the other day from a fellow Beaver Mill owner about the
lubrication of the head.
