I haven't seen AM rockets, but they don't seem too difficult. The brackets they attach to seem more complicated, but I'm sure it's not too big a deal. If anyone knows of AM rockets, please let me know.

Thanks,
George

Taking advantage of the special forum offer with Drill Bits Unlimited, I purchased a selection of bits that arrived today.  Man those #97 bits are tiny! 
The came in a very nice case too.  Great deal!

Jeanluc, as Des said, that's quite a substantial haul you've got there, some really nice stuff!

Hmm..someone posted a question about a pin vice that these would fit in but the post seems to have disappeared. 
Regardless, these bits fit fine in my Tamiya pin vice (#74112).  Got mine on eBay.

Look at the forum sponsor "Drill Bits Unlimited". That's where I got mine, and my drill bits.

Thanks for your replies eclarson and eindecker.

I removed my post because I answered my question by going back to the Drillbits Unlimited site. I found the pin vise they have to fit their bits. I wish I noticed that a few days ago. Oh well, I placed another order.  :o

Sorry no pictures but I just got the Windsock datafile on the Sopwth Tripe and the AEG G.IV, and a friend in the states sent me his unused Sopwith Pup decals by Pheon. Unfortunately this required the purchase of a RFC Pup as my RNAS Pup would just not do ;).

Very little modelling for me lately due to Christmas, work and holidays but I have been lurking in the background following all the great builds on here. I've also picked up these:



The Jasta 30 book looks every bit as good as people have been saying.
The Avro book seemed an appropriate purchase as I only live a mile or two from Woodford aerodrome which was the home of Avro. The triplane was always one of my favourites in the Shuttleworth collection too.



Nothing to say about the Felixstowe that hasn't been said already, one day I'll have the time and space to build it...

Looking at this thread much more could be dangerous for my wallet.

 The Air Defence of Britain 1914-1918 by Christopher Cole & E F Cheesman. All I can say is WOW! This book is amazing. Just might be the DEFINITIVE work on the "First Blitz".

A really good pick-up Tom, I will have to look into the Triplane book, that looks very interesting.
