Call it "Economical" Charlie: Sorry for my inaccuracies on the cardmodel availability. I do not do much WW2 stuff. WW2 Soviet equipment was never "primitive". That would denigrate the T34, arguably among the best MBTs ever built. WW2 Soviet equipment was always built " cheap, fast...

Mike: I'll do the drawings. I think Pa Bear's kits may be Panhards. Both of you now have me clawing thru my reference books. Will Earth ever be the same again? El Fisho

Punching Track Links with Heat ! You folks are undoubtedly aware of a little gadget called a "pyrographic" or "wood burning" pen. It is the newer, smarter, slimmer cousin of Dad's old electric soldering iron and, properly configured, can be used as a "hot knife" or a hot punch. What makes it...

Gang: The Tamiya figures were, indeed, issued in the late 70's and early 80s as plastic kits. There were 2 series: American GI's and Germans, in a variety of poses and with Tamiya's excellent attention to detail. I worked with a couple as part of a diorama that I did for the Manitoba Model...
