the models. (duh) The reason behind the reason is that my father was

I'm looking for a small vice to use with my little mill, after giving up
with the cheapo drill press vice (the moving jaw kept lifting when it was
tightened against the job). Something with a jaw width of around 2", maybe

So, anybody got a line on a bulged bomb bay for the Australian long range PR
variant in the latest Aeromaster sheet (1/48)? The Airfix kit has the
two-stage merlins and the wing tanks, but how about the bulged bay? I have
fallen deeply in love with the aluminum/PRU blue paint ...

I am after 3,4,5 & 6mm left hand dies, can anybody recommend a place that
