So, I got the Dragon 1/53 Tiger I "Initial Prodiction" kit for half price at
Hobby Lobby.  It includes options for three eastern front vehicles, but is
it possible to make one of the Tigers deployed in North Africa from this
kit?  If so, what kind of work needs to be done?  ...

I know I can't be the only guy that mulls the possibilities of the big
diameter PVC while trapsing around one's local contractor supply company. I
always thought the stuff would make for a good Saturn V model.  Lately I've

me so I was going to purchase a DVD. I wondered if any one had seen the DVD
either the Rudy Kouhoupt one or the one from Chronos, ...

Speak to you all when im back, stay safe where ever you are...........

Came across an interesting car conversion project if someone wants to try

I have two cans of Krylon spray paint "camouflage green" and "camouflage
khaki". Does anyone know of the equivalent FS numbers for these? I  used to
have an old bottle that matched green pretty well, but it dried up on me.
Thanks,

While looking for additional HMS Victory resources, I ran across this

Just scored one on eBay. This one only has French and Swiss
marking and I have always wanted to do an IAF bird.
