@Dave Swindell many thanks for the recommendation! I'd seen those at my local (Jadlam), will pick up a set next time I'm there

Hi all, I regularly drill holes 0.6 - 1.2 mm in diameter. I currently use PCB drills (bought off Ebay cheap) however, I find them incredibly brittle and the thread is very, very aggressive, which often means the drill bits bite and snap (especially in resin). Can anyone recommend some good drill bits in particular, or are only HSS bits suitable? Cheers Ben Edit: no idea how I put the in the decals section....

Sea Harrier FRS.1 and FA.2 - What Length?!
wellsprop replied to wellsprop's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Good point about the pitot, that's probably where the confusion is coming in! Aircraft manufacturers wouldn't usually define the length of an aircraft (which would be shown in the top-level General Arrangement drawing) including its pitot. It'd be nice to see some manufacturer drawings for the Harrier! -
I would hope this is a simple question, but it seems not. What length are the Sea Harrier variants? Airfix can't decide, their 1/72 FRS1 says the Harrier was 47 ft 10.8 inches. Their 1/72 FA2 gives the dimensions of 46 ft 5 inches and their 1/48 FA2 gives a length of 46 ft 6 inches. The FA2 was longer than the FRS1. Help! Ben

Masters of the Air - first episode in January 2024
wellsprop replied to TheKinksFan's topic in Entertainment Central
I've enjoyed the first two episodes, they're not on the same level as Band of Brothers or the Pacific, but I'm hoping they'll pick up a bit in the next couple episodes. The only thing I did struggle with is the the flight behaviour of the aircraft on take-off and landing really was wrong. The CGI was convincing but the flight characteristics weren't. Still enjoyable! -
