Model Forum / General / Models / April 2006

Whatever happened to Airshowmodels? I ordered a couple of kits a while ago,
but they are nowhere to be seen.
Anyone know how to get hold of Pete Groves? I wouldn't mind my money back.

....but the snag is you have to take it out by next Sunday 30th!
As some of you know my factory (in Hadleigh, Suffolk) is closing down
and we are out of here at the end of next week. As the place is leased
its going to be empty for some time and we have a lot of 3-phase

Foolish question of the day: I'm making a replacement captstan thingie
for a cheep warco drill press - the little lad up the road had it
knocked off the bench and smashed the casing where the  handles screw
in.

Does anyone know if the Entex kit of the Great Eastern (advertised as
1/400) is really the same as the Revell (listed as 1/388) ?
Oh, just another one of those projects that I'll never get to....

The first model I did was vinyl tracks. A disaster. Never managed to put
them on.
Then there were 3 link and length plastic tracks models. I really liked
them.

I'm looking for the instructions sheet of the Heller 1/48 scale
Etendard IVM.
My adress is valid and my mailbox is enough big to get high size scans.
Thanks in advance

I would appreciate it if someone can tell me the color of the US LCM3,
and what paint company make something exect or close. Thanks in
advance.

Anyone know the serials/Squadrons of the EE Canberras that took part in
Musketeer?  And for an extra mark, what colour the stripes were on each
(ANY!) of them?  I understand they should have Yellow/Black but that
some were White/Black or even the Wrong Yellow/Black.  Any info

I'm building the 1/32 Revell Phantom F4F. I'm scouting around for
attractive subjects to model. Any of you folks know of some nice
schemes and where I can pick up these decals?
Your help is much appreciated.

...Is a terrible thing.
A mere 8 months after getting my Warco VMC mill I'm getting very
tempted to buy a Bridgy thats available locally that I know the
history of.

Any ideas as to the banding colours for live AIM-7 & AIM-9L missiles?
A link to a picture or two would be great!
thanks

I just bought a Citizen Printiva (like the ALPS/OKI printers). I plan on
using it for some decal work.
With the purchase I got some colour ribbons/tapes/cassettes; black, cyan,
magenta and yellow. so far, so good. But the "ink" on those tapes seems to

Finished the G-29 (G-11) last night. I'm pleased with it. Maybe not a
prize winner, but I like it.
Set it aside to do some shredding for Lynne. My work table is also
where I do ESM 72 typing and computer work. The typewriter gets set to

I have the Dragon Sturmboat Kit #-6108
and I would like to build a boat trailer for this. Are there any photos
around of any trailers for these. Can anyone help me out at all here
with any kind of reference materials to build something like this.

So how does it feel to pay dues, to have voted in leadership, to have
that leadership ousted in a coup, to have those at the top, NOT hold a
board meeting since July of last year-to have not reported the club
status for over 9 months?
