I need a small bit of white metal. Any model engineering suppliers in
the UK do this?  Other sources?

Right now I have a small set of enamels and am thinking of switching
to acrylics before building up a large collection of supplies, what
are the pros and cons regarding each?
From what I've read acrylics sound so much easier to deal with but

I was looking through a few referance sorces on the Canberra and thought it
would be nice to make a model in Indian markings, I have several other
aircraft I would also like to finish as Indian aircraft, such as the radar

threads joined by some M4 studding.
Although the idiot, I mean I, have managed to remove one of the snapped

Anyone see them out there?.Here on Earth as model kits?.

I'll be visiting Puerto Rico early November. Does anyone have suggestions
regarding modeling or aviation? Shops, museums? I'll be visiting Vieques
too, a large part of which was a bombing range, I would like to take a
peek, but it appears that part is still a 'no access' area.

Any one know how I can do this as emails keep bouncing
