I realize this is not a modeling question per se, but I'm looking for some
help with the insignia for VF-32.  Might anyone have access to, or could
point me to, a graphic of the patch for VF-32 during the Korean War.  I have

I need to move a belt head 1969 Bridgeport with a 42" table through a

I want to use bare metal foil on some trim areas of a model I'm
working on.  I'm not using it as a mask that will be removed, it will

correct differential settings for a commercial gear hobber.

OK, I know that there is a green light on one wing and a red light on

Thanks.
