    UHU02 Submarine?

    Zathros, I figured out the same way to get p18,19 &20 of the instructions and mentioned it on the "other" forum, but I got the usual smarmy replies. Maybe I should come back here more often or quit replying over there. rjm

    WAK Panzer II

    WAK Autoblinda AB-41 does have complete interior. Looks like it's a captured Italian machine used in North Africa by the Polish Carpathian Lancer outfit around Tobruck (sp). Strangely it uses three sand tires (two as spares) and three highway tires. Four pages of diagram instructions. Bob

    Lesser known USN ships

    cmdrted, I think you are referring to Answer's "USS Gendreau". It's a Buckley class and is not the typical 1/200th full hull but waterline to 1/250th scale. Bob

    Sakrison, Check out this thread on the Lithuanian site. He may not be to where you ran into problems yet, and I can't read Lithuanian, but it would be interesting to see how he does. http://www.modelizmas.com/forumas/viewtopic.php?t=222 Bob

    MAC-10 paper model

    Mac 10 Paper Gun Greg, I downloaded the Kamikuze site you mentioned and got a bunch of photos of guns and a lot of gibberish. How do you download them? Bob
