Thanks

I just received My copy from Hannants this morning, and without opening any
of the plastic bags inside the bok it looks very very nice indeed, lots of
clear parts for Maritime versions and the oval bomb aimers panel for the Mk
VII, there are also seperate flame dampening exhaust ...

I have the AMT/ERTL Back to the Future Trilogy set from 1991. I am looking
to sell it but have no idea of what I should ask, any help would be
appreciated. thanks

I'm considering making a smallish vacuum hold down table for light
weight engraving (pcb's infact) and would welcome the benefit of any
experiences the team have had with these devices.
Was considering a conventional design of milled air slots for rigid

i'm posting a few pics a day of the sax air and space museum
in nebraska. first attempt at digital but nit awfull.
some detail shots and interior of a b17g, the one rescued
from bikini after the tests.

Does anyone "know" which variant of the Ju 388 the National Air and
Space Museum has in storage? One of my sources says it's a J. Another
says K and a final one says L.  Thanks in advance.

Just opened mine yesterday and was amazed.  Not at the detail and quality
that I've come to expect from Tamiya (which are amazing in this kit - die
cast road wheels already primed!); I was sadly amazed that the instructions
included steps for photo etched parts that are integral to ...

In the past I've used good old Elmer's glue to secure clear plastic
parts like canopies and such. Currently I'm working on a B-9 Robot kit
from the original "Lost in Space" and his head is a 2 piece clear dome.
I could use Elmer's again but it just isn't that strong of a bond and I

Evening all,
Work has resumed on my Allchin traction engine. Estimated completion has
slipped to April 2024, so no real change there...
I'm nearing the end of the tender construction. I've painted the joints

I need some small metal (e.g., brass, copper, steel) pieces that look like
little WWI doughboy helmets.  About 5 hemisphere mm (0.195") diameter with a
1mm (0.04") rim.  I need about 75 of these, so before I go through the
trouble of making a die, I thought I'd ask to see if ...

I'm getting around to building Revell's 1/72 VIIC.
The eduard set seems twice as expensive as the white ensign set.. is
it really better? Is there something one set lacks that the other has?
And how's White Ensign's SKC/30U gun kit?

A friend gave my this kit while clearing the attic. It appears to be
complete, except for the instruction sheet. It is Academy/Minicraft number
2123, Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina, but I guess any other boxing of the
same kit would have sufficiently similar instructions to get the job ...

I have just looked over Monogram's AV-8B (Standard Daylight Attack)and
found that the instrucions do not mention what color the intake ducts
are to be painted.
Should they be white? I want to make a grey/green early style AV-8B.
