      Mine's 99.9% alcohol what's your brown IPA - 8%!!!!
      Give me 8% anyway!!!! Wait - I don't drink anymore!!!!!! (Believe that and you'll believe anything!!) Although I do prefer a nice rum or gin these days. ATM its Pirates Fingers rum!!

        The straight alcohol version comes in a variety of strengths (60 to 99 per cent). Sometime paint remover. Great degreaser. Helps break surface tension when used to assist scale gardening. Wouldn't be without it.

          Isopropyl alcohol makes an excellent vinyl record cleaner at about 50% strength as well Paul. Just add one drop of photo flow to a pint and they come up like new.

                    That P-40 is a really nice little kit - I just finished one over the weekend and it was great fun.

                                Ok chaps.....you had better sit down.....my latest arrivals do not include kits....that's right no kits!! Repeat NO kits!!

                                ---------------------------------

                                In visiting HMS Belfast I decided to join the Imperial War Museum. In addition to the 'main' museum it covers the Belfast, Duxford and the Churchill War Rooms - and so given that I can get to Central London and Duxford in a little over an hour, and I was going to the Belfast anyway, and I only need to visit three of them to more than get my money back it seemed to be the obvious thing to do and so this is the welcome pack.







                                These are from a small model shop that visits a lot of the shows I go to in the local area. As well as kits they do a very nice side line in bespoke Kabuki tape markings both general and for individual planes and so given I have so many late war planes, I picked these up
