NO, there aren't any A1 size drawing sheets included with Vol. 19.

I'm currently building Academy's 1/350 Bismarck. I intend to paint it as it engaged the Hood, as per the drawing's from this site. I just received White Ensign's Photo-etch of KM Anti-Aircraft fittings. Their instructions call for 3 2cm FLAK C38's, one of which is mounted on top of turret B. As I c...

I just wanted to comment that although nuclear plants are bigger than conventional plants and may require more space, when you look at the overall design, weight is saved since there is no need for thousands of tons of consumable fuel to be burn in the boilers. The nuclear reactor heats the water an...

Hello, Glad to hear you like the items. I've been adding a few new designs to the store over the last few weeks as my time permits. Since we almost never reach the donation monthly goal to keep the website and forum up and running, buying items from the store is an alternative way to support the sit...

Ulrich, I think Antonio is actually talking about the SIGNAL magazine which you translated time ago.
