The ONLY correct A-20B instrument panel... HOW did they know?
Replacement guns for the Havoc turrets, even if I don't use the barrels...
Was too good a price to pass...
With free shipping as well!

Wait a minute, you got some F5 gear? There's a Havoc feeling neglected somewhere!
Not at all! The Yahu panel is for the Havoc as well as the guns for their turrets. Adding the Flogger and Tiger II products from the same vendor unlocked an extra 20% discount.

Shades of girl math slipping in here, "If my favourite store is having a sale I have to buy more or I'm losing money."

BIG difference is that I chose things I needed as opposed to random crap simply to fill the bill. As it stands the turret guns were free plus I got free shipping (which admittedly wasn't much as the hobby shop is in the East coast of the US as I am).
I have seen this happen with my wife where she then spends hours perusing products for things she likes, as opposed to needs, to pad the amount. Good catch!
JoAnn's going out of business and these were 50-60% off.
Resin of better quality than the last:
A wire bending jig which has more uses and made of aluminum:
Heat resistant tape (up to 450 degrees F which can hold things as I do quick soldering:

I got a couple of items in this week. One order has been in La-La Land since mid April.
The 2001 kit is actually quite large. Seems I saw a drawing, painting or concept where it was setting on landing gear. I guess I will look around a bit.

Soldering Tape? all these years, all these scars, no one ever told me! 
This isn't soldering tape but there is one which is perfect for that. This is high-temp tape. Used to hold iron-on patterns in place while applying under high heat and pressure. I will be testing it for soldering as I simply want it to hold until the solder flows.Soldering Tape? all these years, all these scars, no one ever told me!
EDIT: Upon closer inspection, both have the same 250°C/480°F heat resistance. I know, I know, I wrote 450°F!
This one clearly states soldering among other things. click to see Amazon page:
Heat Tape, 4 Rolls High Temperature Heat Resistant Tape, Adhesive Heat Tape for Sublimation, Heat Press, Electronics, Soldering, Circuit Board, 10mm x33m(108ft)

That looks like the tape we use to mask off the polished parts of bracelets that need to stay polished when we do a brushed finish on the other parts. It is generally pretty tough though it doesn't stick super well. We also order it in different widths to fit different parts that have to be covered.This isn't soldering tape but there is one which is perfect for that. This is high-temp tape.

I will take some photos at work.
Awesome, I will try it for that too!

One thing about it is that it does NOT work around curves. Straight line is fine. That stuff doesn't stretch or give any at all since it is some kind of Mylar. I will be using it on some bracelets to day and will take some photos of the process.

Here are some links to supply houses where you can get different widths of that tape. It is a polyimide tape. Not cheap, but it is tough and will go a long way.

Not super expensive, but not cheap. They are for a specific type job and work quite well. They would work great for masking straight fine lines, but can't think of much else hobby wise for model building. Not sure how much stick they would have on paint, but they aren't all that tacky.

I have this set as well James. Excellent profiles and info...love the art style. My only complaint is the sections given to a what if 1946 + alternative history. The second volume has some 20 pages dedicated to it.
I am just not interested in more than 2 pages of this. I must not be alone as his latest volume backed this off and he acknowledged that he may have given the subject to many pages. I would rather he increased the Tiger cammo section.
