Hi Troops:
    For the benefit of those who are W.W.I enthusiasts, the Roden 1/32
scale Fokker F.1 (pre-production tri-plane) kit has arrived. Be ready
for a bit of sticker shock, Roden's price has gone up compared to their

Some newsgroups I read have an associated "marketplace" newsgroup for
announcements of related items for sale. I don't see anything like
that, that would be proper for posting of announcements related to
scale models, at least not in my news server's list of groups.

I saw Vess post about deep storage of all his Isreali kits.
Hey Vess, admit it, you hate JEWS, Mel Gibson is your Hero,
and Hitler your Idol.
You are a f.cking loser! The Jews need to kill off anyone

I am still in the search for a good technique in order to fill gaps
between my canopies and jet fuselage.
I was using squadron putty but wasn't happy with the results around the
canopy, I would just make a mess.

Has anyone any experience of modifying 3phase-3phase inverters to run

bases) and so I'm used to seeing military aircraft.

Hello all, I'm new to this group.
I try to build a few models once or twice a year as time is so precious
and I'm extremely busy.
This year I've decided to build a scenario of two NASCAR race cars

Just come across another fascinating url which you may want to add to

I'm interested in two of the Revell Anniversary kits - the Jupiter C and the
105 Howitzer - does anyone know who sells Revell in the US - preferably mail
order.

I'm working on my first Guillows balsa kit, the P51-D Mustang kit #402.
I've reached the part where the M1 and M2 fillet parts need to be added
where the wings' leading and trailing edges meet the fuselage. IMHO,
the plans are a bit unclear as to where these fillets actually go, and

I heard about a Magazine called something like the Model Engineer.
Is it good ?
Is it worth a prenumeration, and do you know a link to, where I can see the
price and eventually subscribe?
