We take a look at the new Super Hornet from Revell on Cybermodeler Online

I have just received a testshot of this kit to build for a german
modeling magazine.
Unfortunately the decals are not yet available, so I bought
Superscale's new sheet and want to do the VX-9 aircraft with the dark

Hi got my torrington bearings
thanks for the help from newsgroup.
I need now to fit them to an oil pump
I am making for a 5 gauge locomotive

Simple question: I've got a 'small' S-type Clarkson autolock chuck wit
the usual four imperial collets: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8". Am
correct in thinking that their 'metric' collet range (6mm, 10mm, 12m
and 16mm) for this type of chuck are in fact imperial on the outside

Linked below is an Ebay listing for a "1/83 17th Century Sailing Ship"
manufactured by "YH". Any comments on this particular kit, or "YH" in
general? I queried the seller but haven't heard back, & googling this
group & elsewhere has turned up nothing. Based upon the image on Ebay I

ISTR seeing a multi-view drawing 'somewhere' of what I'm pretty sure
was a B-P design for a RN fighter & it seemed to remind me of an F4U. I
have looked & looked & can't find it. Anyone know what I'm looking for?
I think it was in a mag or book, not online. All of my Googling comes

I need a small length - just an inch or two - of biggish diameter (5 -
6 inch) clear plastic tube for a low-temperature Stirling engine.
Anyone have any idea of where I might buy some at a sensible price?
Perhaps not surprisingly, the plastics distributors I've tried aren't

This may be a stupid question, but I haven't wired anything more
complicated than a lamp socket replacement in years...
Suppose you have installed a pair of screw terminals inside a model
section, which lead to the power source elsewhere.

i am trying to get hold of some 1/48 RAAF F-111 decals in the old camo
scheme. There seems to be no end of grey scheme decal sets available
and also many special sets for aniversaries etc but how about the old
camo version.

Does anyone make a 1/48 scale decal for this plane?
Please Help...

I'm looking around for a couple of (I think Italieri) kits which were
selling like hot cakes in the model shops some while back.
If anyone has an unmade kit they no longer want then I'm willing to
trade money and real Bf-110C wreckage bits!

I picked up the Revell Mig-21 F-13 to have a try on my first
post-modeling hiatus all metal finish.  There is actually a camo option
as well in case things go bad.  The kit is coming together nicely.  I
intend to use Testors Metalizer as it seems to be the most forgiving

But I know that you're a resourceful bunch so here goes.

Scouts.
I figure that we might kill two birds with one stone and build one

Recently I started finding out about the wonders of E-bay and purchased some
of the kits I can remember fascinating me from my childhood (that I could
never afford and only appeared out here in New Zealand fleetingly).  The
kits in question include the Airfix range of 1/32 armour ...
