I'm doing a bit of research with a view to building an F-14A.  Specifically
Bu. No. 159610 AC/207 of VF-32, one of the aircraft which shot down a pair
of Libyan MiGs on 4 Jan 89.
I have the Almark sheet for this aircraft, which states that the colours

Hi, all, I've just gone through my ME collection to find the Anthony
Mount articles on improving the BH600 that were published in 2003.
Unfortunately a couple of those I am missing include my main area of
interest - the clutch. If anyone has time to help out it would be much

Sometimes a light "shooshing" sound which makes me withdraw the drill

I was trying to drill a 3mm hole down some 5mm 303 rod. The drill bit

I have been building scale sailing models for many years for collectors
and museums but with the advent of our first grandson I have decided to

I recently sent photos of the U.S.S. Drum to www.modelwarships.com and
possibly later on this coming week, it will be on there. No hurry for it,

Actually I'm looking for instruction sheet scans of the Monogram '40
Ford Pickup.  I got most of two in an auction last Saturday but no
chrome and no instructions.  Anyone out there have the sheets from

I have a rather ancient (1950's??) Ferranti (type L mk2) clamp ammeter
with scales up to 1000Amp ac. It presumably is intended only for 50
cycle use. No electronics in it, the jaws are the transformer core,
the target wire the primary and a simple moving coil meter with

I've got a very nice  Cast Iron surface/marking out table. 48" x 30",
looks almost unused.
It's going to be seriously in the way next week, so if anyone can make
use of it & can collect by next Thursday they can have it for scrap

I've just made a flexible shaft and handset arrangement to polish twostroke
ports and the like. I'm thinking of running it off a 400W, 11000 r/m Bosch
angle grinder but I need to control the spindle speed.  Does anyone know of
a suitable unit at reasonable price?  I also need a ...
