But, practice first, as ever. I have used this method to attach recalcitrant stencil decals without silvering anything, and to stick down other decals which otherwise wouldn't do so.

I concur absolutely, using brass rod in many thicknesses, wood of many sizes (not basswood, we don't see it which is infuriating because I'd love to use it to carve forms) and detailing parts which work well in wildly different situations given a little lateral thinking. I have used, and would use a lot more if I had them, Grandt Line bolts in various sizes to "bolt" on brass thrust plates on model props. BUT.... they aren't easily found here, and I can't source a catalogue which lets me know enough to risk buying a bunch of items from over the briny. Does any one know if they (Grandt) produce a catalogue and where I can get one. Failing that I guess I can trawl through walthers online catalogue until i find hat I want. *Then* I need to find a supplier :-) (You out there Dave ??)

Uh, I've got this kit, and although for some reason I (carefully) glued together the mules, the rest is unbuilt. It's about O-Gauge. Anyone interested in a trade? I'll let it go for an Eduard Pfalz or ? I think Death Valley State Park keeps a pile of these kits in the gift shop, which is where I got mine...

Well, I've got the K&B (Aurora) F4B-4 kit in 1/48th. I suppose I'd sell if you're really desperate but this is a "spendy" kit, even at non e-Bay prices.

Those would be Skytrex. Two questions, 1) Are they actually round? Skytrex does not always do the best moulding. 2) How do you get leftover wheels? Doing the hypersecret Fokker D.VII bis with the retractable landing gear? Yours, James D. Gray ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1370 **********************
