Iain...Thanks for the tip with the neons.

However model shops around here are few and far between these days, There used to be loads of them but they have all disappeared. The one local source that I have known for 25 years who used to run the shop from his house sadly died 2 weeks ago.

My nearest now is Wrexham 30 odd miles away.

Whatever happened to Tandy..?? They used to be great for all this sort of stuff, you could get all the leds, resistors, wires and pcbs straight off the shelf and make them up yourself (as I did in the Apache above). The only thing I disliked about Tandy was their very typical American style selling by insisting on asking for your name and address with every purchase whether it was by Card or Cash.

As for the Tank and the Apache based Autogyro above....Both are in for Refurbishment/finishing off at present.

Regards.......Mark.
