I have just bought the 1/35 scale Abrams M1A2 as Made by Revell on the
side of the box it gives three varations all are coloured sand but they
are all based at Fort Hood as they are with the 4ID.
What I really want to know is if there are decals for this tank in

So here I have my first Xtracrylis....
I plan to use the Extra Dark Sea Grey,White and Satin Varnish on a
Hawker Sea Hawk to check if I might like them.
I have no experiences with acrylics worth to mention.

You think a store like home depot would sell a overspray collector for
spray painting.Something like a box w/filters inside to trap the spray
w/a small fan.This would make it alot easier to start painting some
models I have lined up.

Just got a RoG 767-300ER kit with optional engines- P&W or Rolls-Royce.
Anybody know a site with details about which airlines use which engines?
Tried Airliners.net but no go. I'd like to do Hawaiian Air markings if they
use PWs-

Does anyone know of a good set of drawings or a good reference for the
Halifax? The airplane in particular would be Friday the 13th,  NP-F of 158
Sqd, Lissett.
Any info would be appreciated

Well,can't get around it,testors sells 1 for $399.00,that's
ludicrus,i'll just have to get a big 'ol cardboard box & line it with
furnace filters,should work o.k.

I need some closed cell modelling foam, but can't find anyone that sells it.
Does anyone know of a place in the midlands?
Thanks

I thought I'd ask you fellahs for a bit of advice.
I'm currently restoring a 1969 BSA (B44VS for those interested) but I
plan to make one or two modifications to incorporate later and better
parts. For this, however, I need to get access to a miller, and a

I just saw this on display at Hannants. As I had my five year old son in tow
I didn't have the chance to take a look, so anyone got their hands on one
yet? Looked impressive enough, price seemed OK at £29.99 too.
So should I buy one? I can't see it getting built for a long time, but

I need/want some 1000lb 1950's bombs to stick under the wings of a 1/48
Seahawk (CA) does anybody know of any aftermarket ones or failing that a kit
that gives you some as an option.
Thanks

As I have postponed my plans for a 1/72 B-52H I am now considering
a D-model...
by the way: did these aircraft have the standard SEA camo scheme when
flying over Vietnam? (34102/079/30219 over black) or were it the SAC

    I'm looking for decals for a NMF or silver lacquered F-105D in 1/32nd.
 I know of Meteor's "Pussy Galore" but that'd never fly (pun intended)
in my house...
    Is there no other set for a silver Thud?

Mine finally rolled in.  
Bill Shuey, you'd better find that vacform Coronado soon as I see Mach 2
has one in their injected plastic line.  People will be looking
everywhere for the vacform now. ;Þ

need your advice on a good offline browser. I've tried HTTracker (it's free)
but it took ages to download just one site. I've tried to download others
from www.download.com but even the downloading of the programs didn't always
work. I'm willing to pay for it. What would you ...

I am building Revell's Super Hornet and just have assembled the intake
trunks which are to be painted white inside.
So far, so good.
Revell says they should be white from front to rear. Now I wonder if
