I have posted a picture of 3 of Don's Gnats that swarmed over here to Northamptonshire. I'm delighted with them. Any shortcomings are due to the ham fisted...
Hi all, Some years ago I had the Revell release of the Crown Harrier GR.1. Since Minicraft has released their Harrier as a Sea Harrier am I correct in assuming...
Yup, the Sea Harrier is definately a modification of the original GR1 mold. You can see the joints on the sprue where they changed the original in a couple of...
Don, I am having problems with the e-mails from you. The first one seemed to have lost its attachment and the second one had no header (and no attachment). ...
Hi Everyone, The recently issued 1/144 Shackleton MR3 kit from Czechmaster Resins is the subject of a pretty detailed (5 pages long) build review in the...
Hi all, Not much to go on I'm afraid, but Hobbylink Japan list the next Sweet release as "1/144 A6M2 Zero Fighter Green Version" kit number 14112. Due to be...
Doug, It was actually Crown themselves who changed a copy of the GR.3 Harrier patterns into a Sea Harrier. The original Harrier patterns got lost before...

Hi; Well, I've happily come into posession of a couple of the old Monogram early 60s-vintage Tu-16s. This was one of those happy cases where "box scale"...
TJ, As a matter of fact I finished one last year. I wasn't worried about AMS accuracy, only wanting to see what could be done to make the kit look better than...
The Monogram TU-16 wasn't a bad little kit but what year did it come out? , I remember the Green box issue that cost I think 49 Cents , I also remember finding...
Continuing my thread on filler questions. On a Revell Herk I have used the Aeroclub nacelle fronts and tops. Both metal fronts and tops attach to the lower...
While I'm not a big fan personally, this sounds like a job for "super-goopey" CA (the Zap-a-gap Thick as an example). As a tip, use CA accellerator and hit it...

Hi Ken, Consider Magic Sculp,a very good brand of epoxy putty. Having used it and Milliput I prefer it due to being much easier to work with. It was a big help...
Hello there, I've managed to get a Revell Bombadier Challanger 604 in a Vienna Hobby Shop. I am thinking of building a military version out of it, the CC-144....
Gergo, The two tone grey scheme was done with Canadian colour specifications and you will not find exact model paint matches. 501-322 on top - close to FS36237...

G'day all, Just got Meteor Productions new arrivals and noticed a huge list of 1/144 decals, have these been issued before? Quite a large variety and good to ...
Due to the "SS" prefix, and the subjects, those look like the old Super Scale (Microscale) decal sheets. Yes, they have been issued before, starting in the...
Hi Ray, Those appear to be the old SuperScale sheets. I have the B-25 & B-26 sheets. Cheers, Alex Ashburn, Virginia USA ... __________________________________...

I found some alloy tubing at the hardwear store that fit perfectly...I don't remember the size, but it's that standard K&E stuff. I shaped the end and thinned...
