Re: Aoshima 900 model kit, colour.?
Like Philippe my eyesight is not what it used to be, I started Aoshima z1b kit a while back, I made a complete hash of it. It now resides in the wardrobe unfinished.
My standard was never going to a threaten Philippe’s degree of realism even when my sight was good

Re: How to find out original colour
Is there a wear on the paint that reveals the original colour, mine had worn through where the seat touched the tail piece, I could see blue paint underneath.

Credit goes to the Bantam owners club who have a superb setup for re registering bantams. Most of it is relevant to other makes.

Wanted 28mm mikuni carb slider
Whilst refurbing my carbs, I stripped th first carb and put the components in my new ultrasonic cleaner, great bit of kit, very efficient! It was a bit too efficient as it took the gold green coating off the slider. :sad Does anyone have a spare slider that they would be willing to part with. Beer t...
