I am looking for the kits that were produced by Id only, and would be
needing them soon. I can use parts from leftover or scrapped kits. If
you could help me please drop me a line by email please directly.
Thanks,

Some of you might have read my earlier post about wanting to score a
Modelcraft or RoG Shackleton, because I have a thing for contrarotating
propellers. We were at Home Depot, scoping out a new ceiling fan for the den
and there it was- it's too small for my den (very big, most of ...

Are there currently any sources for pre-punched styrene sheets for the
Mattel Vacu-form?  Drilling all those holes to prepare a sheet is a
pain!

Would anyone in this newsgroup be able to supply me with 12 x sheets of
1mm thick titanium, dimensions 60mm x 4mm?
Even better would be 9 of the above, and three of 1.5mm thick, with
equal dimensions.

Do the British still use the term "airscrew"?  How about "aeroplane?"
Is this still preferred in Great Britain to "airplane?"

Yes, I know this is the ancient Frog kit I built in 1968 or so, yes, I

Auto Restoration keep black, red and grey. Does anyone know of a
source of green (preferably dark green) in the UK?

Any one have images of hydraulic tank and hose connections to back and front
of an M60?
Lawrence Salerno sent me sent me many a few years ago but they were wiped
out

Has anybody built a Proctor WWI museum aircraft strictly as a static model?
If so can you give any input as to quality and construction?  Yes I know
they are expensive!  jimbo  p.s. also large as the Eindekker would be a
wingspan of 100"!

I need a mug full of fine river sand for making dioramas.  The river
is still frozen for me to get some from there.  Any suggestions on
where else I can find any?   That stuff in railway hobby shops is dyed
the wrong colors, is kinda too even grainy and costs a few bucks.
