hello people
does anyone knows a powerfull and small RC model turbine jet ?
I need at least a push of 25 kilos.

My post on the thread about "home made decals: laser or ink jet" is so
far back some of you may not see it. I would really like for you to read
it and also my post on the binary page.
In particular I would like you to read about #2. This is the one where

Does all model kits need a scrub down?,or is it just a good idea?.

Has anyone used it, Pro's/Con's?
Thanks,
Robert

Has anyone built, or is anyone building, the new Transall C-160 by Revell?
Has anyone purchased one? If so, can you tell me what you think of the kit?

Thought I would share a small success with you. About a month ago I
decided to sort myself out a little furnace for annealing or hardening
tools or small lumps of scrap metal I want to re-use, and today I am
chuffed to have run it up to 850C for well under my £200 budget

Does anyone know if a company makes the parts necessaty to convert the
Tamiya 1/48th Spitfire MK I into an early production machine with the 2
blade prop and small canopy.
Also, wasn't the exhaust stacks the early "kidney shape"?

Anybody know if there are any aftermarket decals available for the P/F-82
Twin Mustang?

i visited jeff garrity in his new store in henderson, nv, a
short way from the vegas strip. it was a great trip and i
got a lot of kits from his $5 sale and more.
this was my first meeting and i urge you to go. jeff is a

OK, my posting yesterday stated, that the repaired hardening furnace is up
and running again. But then it went dark in my shop.
At 950°C and 9PM the RCD switched off power. Complete darkness in the shop,
but at least I didn't fall over things when I went to the fuses.

Hi Group
This is a long shot but can anyone give me the sizes of the old Velocette
motor cycle clutch springs. If we have a size and number of turns we hope to
get some made. Thanks

I needed to cut a 1/2" slot the other day. I didn't have a 1/2" slo
drill, so I considered using a 12mm slot drill and after one pass
nudge over 0.7mm and take a second pass. Then I vaguely remembere
reading somewhere that one must only use a slot drill in a slot. I

I was pondering today, and nwonder if anyone here knows if the following
exist:
1)  A Napoleonic era "74" (ship of the line) in 1/99 scale (or close to
it.)  I currently have the Heller Victory and Revell COnstitution at that

the bilek-airfix bv141 kits are from the same molds.
why doesn't some one tell me these things?
i'll still build them both. it's my fave weird-a.s ac.

My Marlow mill has 7/16" T-slots, which is marginally annoying as I
don't have any that size. I've been doing a bit of searching and found
that Chester sell a set sized at 7/16" and list it as being suitable
for Myfords. I've already got a 1/2" T-nut set thing, so as long as I
