I just purchased (from a Big Lots $5.00 deal)
an AMT '67 Mustang kit ("The Fast and the Furious"
packaging).  The instruction sheet provides a
very detailed cross-referenced chart for exterior

So I've been watching Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on Dvd and now I
want to build both a SeaView and a Flying sub.  Anyone been there and
done that?  I'm leaning toward scratch built myself right now.  I've
got Season 1, 2, and the first half on Season 3 on dvd.

No connection in any way whatsoever to the company, but I just noticed
on the back of this month's rag that Chester are doing a 5" ER40
backplate-mounted chuck, including nut and spanner for 28 quid
including postage & VAT.

Just saw this on the Axminster website special offers bit:

Looks like my Machine Mart one only in a different colour, one of the
most useful things I've bought so far. Axminster are doing it for £110

Can anyone suggest a method to remove dried Testor's Acryl paint from a
clear canopy?  Hate to throw away a good model.  Thanks!

Can anybody tell me what is available in the way of large scale ie 1/16
static German Tiger or Panther kits?  I'm not at this point interested
really in RC but instead a detailed static Tiger or Panther say along the
lines of the 1/16 Trumpeter T34's for example of which I have ...

just found an old comic at a book sale.
great to see the Americans blowing a purple Panther sky high with 5
grenades
has some diorama potential...   great fun anways.

Can anybody recommend what they would consider the 'Pocher' of Duesenberg
kits assuming one exists?  Where would you find one and what do you think
one would cost me?  jim

Can I swap the early VVSS suspension from the M7 to the Sherman III???
Academy corrected the bogies and I like the idea of the earlier suspension
on the British M4. Could the Dragon VVSS be used on the M7 to make it a late
M7 or M7B???

I have the following rare, out of production kits up for auction on
eBay.  I will ship them worldwide (except for the XB-70 - it's just
too big to ship at a reasonable cost):

Can anybody tell me if these old Entex kits are any good?  I'm talking about
the early 1900 to mid 1900's autos.  jim

Anybody know of a way to contact a Mike English who built one of the Etzel
Duesenbergs?  His model is on page 24 of the new ie 10/07 issue of Model
Cars magazine.  jim

...and in the right scale, too.

Happy Independence Day, Finland.

I have just joined, so I am not sure if I am on the right part of th
site, for this question.
Anyway, I have recently bought an old Myford ML7. It was in reasonabl
condition; just requiring rescaling, painting and a few odd bits.

Having spent a fruitless half hour in Google I could use some help please
(as usual!).
I am refurbishing an old Marbaix destructor. Can anyone tell me what are the
properties of the coolant it needs and perhaps even recommend a suitable
