Paypal credit makes spontaneous buying easy-for me, at least

Since I don't make an effort to sell much of anything on ebay, my paypal account has always had a rather low balance. After getting a paypal credit account a few month back, I can easily fill in some empty places in 18th AC and tanks; also good used parts for w124 MB 300E and E320s. As long as I sen...

Re: How to fix the space on 32nd corsair wings when open??

thanks for the replies, I'm not averse to the gluing answer, but the wings simply don't want to tighten any farther, so I'' do some trimming, thanks

18th hellcat- slight wing sagging issue?

I haven't really looked at them in..like..forever, but I noticed the issue tonight. I had to look at the old build sheet to remember how to remove the wings, easy, just pull straight out. I guess if you've ever folded them, the white plastic support can ease out just a wee bit. I just put 2 part epo...

Needless to say.......guilty as hell; I had to order one when the listing said "last one". I fell for it. Now there are another 6 for sale :lol: The seller probably has a couple of thousand laying around.

I would like 60.00 shipped for 262 and 50.00 for Mig-15. I figure UPS reg at work will average around 12.00 or more apiece for US delivery. I would disassemble and ship in most economical, yet protective box possible, original box is probably not necessary for used AC. paypal or postal money order w...
