Hi Troops:
    Well, I finally received an April Flyer. I think Squadron needs an
editor, On page 2 Roden's 1/48 scale Viper engined SE.5 is listed at
$26.09. On page 5 the same kit is listed at $17.96, $8+ difference.

Anyone out there know how to get one of these running right?
Any assitance, copies of manual appreciated
Its a 3 Jaw 4 in version
Thanks

another couple of inches to cover the far corners of the ...

I thought I was doing a good thing. I removed the needle, nozzle,
trigger and
put the unit in a tub of Lacquer/thinner for a couple of days (Sunday

I'm looking somewhat to the future if and when I move house about the best
way to move a Bridgeport and a Student from the south to Aberdeen.

else do it or hire a 7 tonner with a tail lift and try and do ...

How can I do that within +/- 0,01 mm ?
