When withdrawing funds you can transfer minimum balance of $25 to your bank. I have just started using it for some Ebay sales - I send e-mail to guy in USA/Canada with postage costs & get money by return - Great!! There is also Bidpay where you can send Western Union $ drafts - cost flat $5.00 Plus there is a Euro-escrow , costs £1.85 per transaction but provides some safeguards for long distance auction purchases. John Harris has been using it for a while, he put me onto it. Clive Correction I was wrong on the $100 limit on Paypal - it's only for Credit card based receipts - Paypal based receipts have no limit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: TW [grand-poobah@vtc.net] Subject: Line drawings Hi all.... you know the story... long time reader, first time writer. I am looking for line drawings of any and all WW II tanks, AFV, planes. Simple top, front and side views without colors etc. Anyone have any ideas or links where I might locate such animals? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks Terry Wow, where to start? The Bellona series (long out of print, but I regularly see them at shows) had a lot of useful plans, at four to a small booklet. There were some 38 (?) series, some of which covered just one or two types in more detail. There are also ranges of plans available from John Rue, John Church Geoff Lacey and others, but without more details of what you want, it is difficult to be much more specific. Some of the commercial magazines publish plans from time to time, although they seem to do less of this than was once the case (Aiirfix magazine and Military Modelling spring to mind). For German WW2 stuff, the best (in my opinion) material is from Hilary Doyle, who actually engages in original research rather than ripping off other people's work or guessing wildly. The Panzer Tracts series of books (by his co-conspirator Tom Jentz) are fairly cheap for the content and are the latest information. Also, Phil Dyer is (again, in my opinion - not apparently in that of some others) pretty reliable, and admits when he gets something wrong. Mil Mod has had several of his plans in the last few years, as part of "build-up" articles on kits. Finally, some of Steve Zaloga's work is good - they are always nicely drawn, but he admits (more than some do!) that some are now known to be inaccurate as better information has come to light. Of course, no-one is infallible, so it is usually wise to check all sources against each other before cutting plastic, and usually worth avoiding reliance on a single source. There are also the magazines of various organisations, such as MAFVA, S Wales MAFVA and the AFV Association, which publish journals every two or three months and invariably have some scale plans. I produce a spreadsheet index of the content of Tankette if you are interested. Email me offlist to rlockie@platosoftware.com for a copy and to be added to the distribution list for updates. As to the aircraft, I have collected most of mine from Scale Models, Airfix Mag and the specialist aviation magazines. MAP did a series of plans once, and I think Nexus may now have taken it over. It is not really a major field for me, so maybe others can answer this one (just remember it is called Think TANK though - don't want those wingy things taking over.) ;o). I have not tried finding plans on the web as I prefer the paper type, but maybe someone else can help there. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From: John Maze [jmaze@neo.rr.com] Subject: Posting photographs and Paypal Robert, First, as to the pics, I had no intention of sending them out as attachments to everyone, knowing that many (seemingly, esp. in Europe) pay varying amounts for connect time - some bordering on ridiculous. (I have a "net" friend in the Ukraine). Pending your answer, I was considering sending them to interested parties only - depending on the number of requests - if a site for posting were not available. As my results are mixed (seems my flash must have been misfiring, and you're aware how dark it is in there), I may keep them to myself. Did you see the LVTP5 sitting in the yard beyond the far building? Was the WWI building open when you were there? (Presumably, after AMPS??). Did you get any pics? It was closed due to water damage when I was there. Second, PayPal. I have used it many times, particularly for buying things on eBay. The plus side is, you don't have to give out your CC# to everyone you deal with and you can make transfers directly between bank accounts or bank and CC accounts. The downside is giving bank info to the service after you exceed the "intro" CC spending limit (IIRC, it was $200). Some people don't like this, and the only "problem" I have had with them came from the one and only bank transfer I made (resolved quickly). The other negative is, the receiver must be signed up to the same service. For some reason, people in Europe seem to shy away from using it, though none have given me a solid answer as to why. I gather from statements made in the PayPal newsletter, that there must have been some problems, as they said they corrected them. eBay has its own service, called Billpoint, which I have used, and there is one called Bidpay, which I have not. IMO, it comes down to your comfort level with entrusting this info to an unseen agent. I have a bank account that I keep just for hobby expenditures and business travel, that rarely has much money in it, and I am comfortable giving them the info for it, as a screw-up can't hurt me much. I would NOT be comfortable giving them the info for the household account, however. Technically, I suppose you could use it until you reached the limit, and then bail out and open another at a later date. JohnM I only took close-ups at Quantico but then I did only cover a few exhibits. I saw the LVTP outside (while in the process of getting "lost" - amazing how easy it is to get lost when there is interesting kit about) but I already had several shots of the one at Mobile from 1997. The WW1 building was closed but we blagged our way in on the "we've come all the way from England just to see this" gambit but I didn't take any pictures there as there were no exhibits in my specific area of interest.. We saw the water damage outside - looked pretty severe. I believe the plan is to build a new museum but the biggest disappointment was the almost total lack of any Viet Nam exhibits. Hopefully this will be rectified if they get a larger building in due course. As to the posting of pictures, see below. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) From: Bradford Chaucer [bradford.chaucer@snet.net] Subject: Paypal Robert I use PayPal quite regularly and find it quite useful. You establish an account with them. They will allow you to charge against a credit card but only to a limited extent. What they really do is either have you do debits from a checking account or to keep an interest bearing account with them to charge against. You replenish the account via EFTs or mailed in checks. One of the advantages is that they merely make a deposit into the seller's account, which the seller can then use through PayPal or can transfer to their own bank either electronically or by check. The seller never sees any of your personal info like bank account or credit card numbers. In that sense they are actually safer then sending checks or a cc number which may give the seller financial info about you. Some people complain about them, but I have had only a positive experience. I have used them for both selling and buying principally on Ebay though others use them now too. Some suppliers with an on-line presence are also starting to use them. If you have any particular questions, feel free to email me. Regards, Bradford Chaucer bradford.chaucer@snet.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) From: Ron and Louise Crawford [rlcraw@together.net] Subject: 3/4 ton Dodge weapons carrier Does anyone have a copyable or scanable scale plan for the WWII Dodge .75 ton weapons carrier? The only one I've been able to track would be in the first issue of Bellona Military Vehicle Prints (MAP). Many thanks. Ron Crawford Military Modelling had a set of 1/32 plans in its May 1980 issue. That is the only one of which I am aware - my Tankette indices do not show any of this variant. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) From: Paul Roberts [tankmodeler@home.com] Subject: Paypal I have been using Paypal for about 7 months and can honestly say that this is a "killer app" in the words of the software industry. I have had absolutely no problems with the service and it has proven to be a much cheaper way of getting funds (US funds, granted) into the hands of any registered user. It is NOT an escrow service. It is purely a payment channel that allows you to pay via credit card to individuals with no credit card service. While it is free to individuals using it for less than US$100 per month, if you exceed this amount, either sending or receiving, they do charge a fee. It is about 2 1/2% of the total exchanged and is quite cheap when you allow for the expenses of international money orders for most purposes. It is also secure, money paid by Paypal is there immediately you get your notification from them (within minutes of the deposit or payment) by email. Ebay promotes a similar payment service called Bidpay (which I can also accept, but Paypal's rates are slightly cheaper, so I prefer that. There is another escrow service, which I don't use, but its rates are slightly higher still. I would certainly use it if I was buying anything larger than, say a couple hundred US$. I have found that this sort of service has come in handy not only for Ebay, which it was developed for, but also day to day in receiving payment for other goods. Quite frankly it blows me away how useful this is.

It looks like a thick manilla > rope with lops on each end and has an element of elasticity, so it > can be used to jerk a bogged vehicle by storing energy as the towing > vehicle moves off and then releasing it suddenly. Great for recovery > but not recommended for towing over long distances.... Quite spectacular, if you 'get lucky' and see it in use - I did once. A well-bogged Scorpion 'leapt' out of a hole on the end of one. And I do mean 'leap' - one moment it was bogged, next it was more or less hurtling out of the hole. > Has anyone on the list used the services of a website called Paypal > (www.paypal.com)? Yes. I have only used it to pay other people- I've never received payment that way (yet!). > Are there any catches? The only one I've found is that their foreign exchange rates aren't very good - I reckon they make their money by offering not very good rates.

Regards, John -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9) From: John Harris [ukmilmod@ukmilmod.force9.co.uk] Subject: PayPal Dear all, I must admit I have only paid out via PayPal, getting a Legend IDF M4 Ambulance conversion from S.T.O.R.M., and it certainly seemed to work fine. Charges seem to be minimal, certainly less than IMOs. It works quite well, you only need an account and an e-mail address. If I'm sending money to you, I just log on and give your e-mail address and how much I want to send you. I think the only 'problem' is that at present I think only US dollars are acceptable. eBay's escrow is not quite the same, it's more of a 'safe haven', I send the cheque to them, they tell you I've paid, you send the goods, they I say okay and they release the good to me. JH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10) From: John Harris [ukmilmod@ukmilmod.force9.co.uk] Subject: Photograph posting to TT Dear All, I am quite willing to post any military related pictures on my web site(http://www.ukmilmod.force9.co.uk); my ISP offers 'unlimited' web space, so I might as well use it. If you have any photos, just e-mail them to me. My site has an advantage over Photopoint in that we can add more text if required. I can set-up a TT section, no problem. Cheers John H Thanks John - I suggest that anyone who does email John photos for inclusion also posts something to the group to tell us what you are putting there. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11) From: Mick Bell [mick@the-belfry.demon.co.uk] Subject: CVR[T]s and KERRs So that's what KERRs are. I knew about the ropes, just didn't recognise the acronym. They always struck me as a very dodgy method of recovery. My understanding of the method is that once the rope is attached, the recoverer drives off as fast as he can, until the energy stored in the rope overcomes the stiction of the recoveree. I have this mental picture of the rope stretching to some impossible length, a loud sucking, unsticking noise, the recoveree rockets out of the mud and smacks the recoverer an almighty blow up the backside. I must have watched too many cartoons as a kid! Mick Bell It is pretty much like that, but I think the elasticity/length combination is calculated to prevent such occurrences. Mind you, I don't know what would happen if you tried towing out a lighter vehicle than a Scorpion ;-). Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12) From: Sidney Ellerington [s.ellerington@gsa.ac.uk] Subject: Captured French Char B2 bis Hi I am a new member no 7983. I am looking for information for a model I'm scratchbuilding. It's of the 10.5cm leFH18/3 auf Fgst Geschutzwagen B2(f), a captured French Char B2 bis tank. Any help with top and front and back elevations. Also could you send me a copy of the Tankette index? Thanks Sid Welcome. I assume that you are a recent MAFVA member (the number looks about right) so Tankette Vol.14 No.3 is worth obtaining for the only plan (by John Rue) I can recall seeing of this variant. I think it has a front, side and top view. It is currently out of print but no doubt John Baumann’s MAFVA information service (address on page 2 of Tankette) will be able to assist. Unfortunately the rear and innards of the vehicle are a mystery to me and I can only recall seeing a few photos of them. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13) From: Institute Management Services [imgtserv@dircon.co.uk] Subject: Tropical spec for Stug III Ausf D I am trying to define the tropical conversions for Stug III Ausf D. Osprey's New Vanguard book (No. 19) makes passing reference to armoured covers over holes in the rear deck and curved metal deflectors directing pre-filtered exhausted cooling air at the rear of the vehicle. I believe Plate E shows a pipe entering one of the deflectors, which is mounted on supports some distance above the engine air intake - is this correct? Any information on or pointers regarding where I might find the information about these any other external alteration for tropical use would be greatly appreciated. Regards to all. Steve I have seen a couple of articles about the DAK StuG III conversions, in US magazines: Boresight Vol.8 No.2 (March 2000) by Steve Watson and Fine Scale Modeler Vol.17 No.7 (September 1999) by Glenn Bartolotti. The former contained a sketch of the bracket attached to the air intake for the filter and the author made his (1/35) filters from 3.5mm x 25mm tube with mesh over the rear end and a pipe into the front outboard hole in each set of 2 x 3 louvres in the intakes. He used the Dragon StuG III ausf D and added two spare torsion bars to the lower hull as well as a Type 8 deck and new armoured covers over the air outlets at the rear of the decks. The FSM article is probably less helpful as it has no drawings and only two photos of the finished model. Achtung Panzer 5 has some photos of the filters and also the armoured radiator cover vents on the Axvall vehicle. Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14) From: Listmaster Subject: Late Tiger I wheels wanted I am contemplating a conversion of Tamiya’s early Tiger I to one of the vehicles of the Fehrmann Gruppe in 1945 as illustrated in Tigers in Combat 2 and AFV News. This will necessitate a set of steel wheels and although I have a set of them from the Tamiya Panther kit, the hubs are different for Tiger. The only three Tamiya kits which I know have steel wheels are the original and re-released (with new crew figures) late production versions and the Sturmtiger. If anyone has a hankering to turn their Sturmtiger into the pre-production vehicle with the original wheels, I would be happy to swap a set of the early wheels for the lates. Please contact me off-list if you can assist. Thanks Robert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15) From: Clive Harman [cliveharman1@yahoo.com] Subject: Modelpoint I have been trading books for barrels with Modelpoint in Russia very successfully but for various domestic reasons had decided to halt for a time. However, they have asked me if I could get them some more books & as they are essentially a model club based operation I am keen to help. The turned aluminium & brass barrels are excellent quality as I'm sure many of you know. However, the books they are after are not cheap! Trading works out the cheapest option I know of for these barrels & if anyone is interested I can send you a current product listing. Provided there is sufficient support I will go ahead with trades. (N.B. If anyone is not sure of my bona-fides then please put a question on Think Tank; I feel sure that somebody I have either shared a Hong Kong or Modelpoint order with will vouch for me) Clive -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16) From: Shane & Lorna Jenkins [sljenkins@tac.com.au] Subject: APMA site has moved Hi all, APMA now has a new home at: http://apma.org.au/ Consequently the Think Tank archives have been moved to: http://apma.org.au/thinktank/ Also, in regards to posting pictures, I've got approval from APMA to post pictures from Think Tank subscribers to this site on a temporary basis if need be.
