Hi Rick, thanks for the information, I have had Badger airbrushes in the past but many years ago as just returning to the hobby after a long break. What I have considered is the Iwata Neo gravity fed as the compressor is only low power output.

Hi Red, thanks for the parts I must pay you something it's only fair as your friend would have to post it when he got too the UK.
Regards the table saw I have the broken piece that you have shown on photo 2 it's just the guide in the same photo I have lost, so you have made a few model boats in your time. I have only just got back into modeling after taking a 30 year break with family growing up so can take a bit of time to start building models again, so much has changed radio wise from the old 27mhz and brush less motors never heard of. Fairly new too this site so don't know the procedure for sending my address over.

Good evening from the UK, wow those are the parts I am looking for in photo 1 and 2.
How much are you looking for for the parts, also forgot to mention that I have the thunder Tiger Seawolf rov. You have a fair few boats.
As regards the Covid 19 we all have to stay safe and well as we don't know how long it's going to last.

Hi, sorry don't know your name but sure you will tell me in next post. I currently have the Adolph Bermpohl with daughter boat really sails well and a show stopper when the daughter boat launches and sails, also have the Graupner Glasgow paddler bit light on the water so only able too use in calm weather. The grandkids have the little Southampton tug think made by hobby king.

Hi, thanks for having a look sure we could sort something out regards the postage, so what boats do you have? I am currently building the Graupner Tina Rowboat just something unusual as saw one many years ago built by one of my friends and thought must have one 30 years later found a kit with all the fittings including the figure

Hi, yes you are correct regards the fretsaw well engineered being cast and not many plastic parts either. Do you have any spares you would like to sell. What I am after is the angle guide for the table bench saw, have searched high and low for mine cannot find it since we moved, even searched the boxes in the loft yesterday drew a blank, if you need spare Jigsaw blades look on Hobby's.com they still have some spares, really nice company to deal with and very helpful.

Good morning Captain. You have a large amount of Minicraft tools. They are well made in the day and stand there ground today to any Dremel as for modeling they tend to be on the heavy side. Minicraft I have is the 3 plug controller, the earlier version of the Jigsaw mb550 the newer version mb552 has the adjustable angle to 90 degrees, the fretsaw number is mb490 that has the square blade surround blades I use on mine are plain 130mm jeweller blades find them on eBay really cheap. Orbital sander is fantastic for rubbing down boat hulls and other models. Drill many mb models made of them as you say the drill stand is fantastic, bit iffy about using the table saw as being small fingers could easy get caught ouch....

Good evening Martin, quick update. Been in contact with Hobby's.com today and part good news, was able to purchase the keyless chuck for mini drill and the Jigsaw blades for wood,plastic and the metal ones. Regards the fretsaw there is no chance of any parts, but sorted the problem out with your suggestion. Works a treat so back to building again.
Thanks once again for you help

Hi Martin, yes I will do but not holding out much hope as on their website it is mainly blades for the Jigsaw and chucks for the Minicraft drill range, also they have velcro sanding discs for the bench sander.
Stay safe and well

Hi Martin, mail snail not working hard enough well it is Sunday. Did you used mdf to make them with. Have just read that Hobbys.com bought out Minicraft so certain spares are available on their website.
