Anybody have a manual for the early (drip feed headstock) Myford Super
7?

I am trying to find the weight of a Smart and Brown type A and a Hardinge
HLV-H.
I guess they wont be too dissimilar but i would like exact figures.

Is that kit any good? (apart from the not positionable-leading edge

Hello all can anyone tell me if there are any parts out there for this
Monogram Kit of the Junkers  JU-52.  
Also are there any Floats made for the Sea Plane variation of this
aircraft.

I stopped at the local HL yesterday armed with a couple 40% off
internet coupons.  I noticed they had just received the brand new
re-issue of the Monogram Big T.  To my surprise, they had them priced
at $49.95.  I believe it should have been $99.95.  With the 40% that

I recently got a Minicraft model of a Yak-1 in German Luftwaffe
colors. From what info I could find, I understand a soviet pilot
defected, giving the nazis a Yak-1 in perfect shape. I understand they
