  1. + 1 for the Dspiae. Superb piece of kit if you don't mind the price!
  2. Shapways list some 1/32 u boat details. Not cheap though. As they are 3d printed, thay may be able to print at different scales. Nigel
  3. L'arsenal do 4 Lewis guns in 1/144 for about 6 euros. Don't know about postage though. Nigel
  4. A similar device was fitted to the sea King helicopter. As this was American designed, rumour has it that the MOD requested that the size of the top Cup be increased as it wasn't big enough for the British.
  5. I have just posted this image on The Great War forum. Lots of knowledgeable guys and gals on there who may be able to help. Nigel
  6. I bought one of these for about £70 from amazon. Very pleased with the performance. I replaced the switch with a double one and with a bit of rewiring light and fan are controlled independently. In use, I use a puppy training pad in the bottom to keep it a bit cleaner. Hope this helps. Just checked and my fan has brushless on it in large lettering.
  7. "the masters brush cleaner and preserver" seems to strip must things from brushes. It's a soap type thing which you work into the bristles and lather. Rinse with water. I am sure that they claim it will remove dried paint. I first used it on a brush which I had thoroughly cleaned. The lather colour showed that I hadn't got it all! Obtained from art shops or amazon etc.
  8. Mary had a little lamb Her father shot it dead And now that lamb it goes to school Between two lumps of bread.
  9. Meng 1/32 fokker DR1. Looks crisply moulded. Parts for F1 and early and late dr1. Decals for 4 aircraft and 2 different fronts for the engine.

    Painting balsa wood?

    Back in my youth, many years ago, i remember using something called sanding sealer on balsa. It raised the grain so sanding was necessary but it gave a beautifully smooth and sealed surface.
  12. All crew accounted for.. 18 crew taken to hospital with minor injuries. Reports of 4 civilians also injured.
  13. Fully dry in about 15 minutes. Resists rubbing. That was just a quick teat on un prepared plastic with one of the pens
  14. +1 for molotow. It may be possible to decant from the markers but is available as a refill which is basically a large dropper bottle. Sprays beautifully. Dries quickly as well Nigel.
