Questa sezione contiene un elenco di informazioni assortite, in gran part e provienienti da precedenti versioni delle FAQ, pertanto potrebbero essere obsolete. Indicazioni di aggiornamenti saranno molto apprezzate.
Domande frequenti a cui dovrebbero rispondere
le FAQ, ma che non trovano risposta (volete provare voi?).
Se avete una risposta definitiva ad una delle seguenti domande, che
provenga da qualche forum di discussione o sia farina del vostro sacco
non ha importanza: inviatemela a: lbeato@iol.it.
Questo vale anche nel caso che abbiate ulteriori suggerimenti per gli altri
argomenti trattati in queste FAQ.
Le piu' importanti domande finora inevase sono:
Qual'e' la colla piu' adatta, caso per caso? Qual'e' la vernice migliore per le varie circostanze possibili? Quali attrezzi mi occorrono per fare modellismo? Come si fa aderire quel maledetto Parafilm-M®?
Elenco di indirizzi di produttori artigianali
e di aziende che vendono per corrispondenza.
This list is by no means comprehensive, or in any particular order.
I'm not about to put any sort of rating next to any of these names [I thought
about it, it would be nice, but I don't want to be sued]. I've divided
this list into two groups: "distributors", eg. places that just sell stuff
that someone else manufacturers, and "aftermarket suppliers", eg. companies
that produce a niche product of some sort and also sell it mail order.

Elenco di club di modellismo e di gruppi d'interesse
speciale.
Clubs and organizations General Modelling Clubs
MAFVA, or Miniature Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association. The Association exists to promote interest in AFVs and their asociated equipment, covering the period from World War I to the present day, though tending to concentrate on World War II. It is much like the IPMS but concentrating purely on AFV modelling in all scales. A bimonthly magazine called Tankette is produced, which contains background articles, photographs and plans, as well as the normal kit reviews, how-to articles and conversions. It is an excellent publication containing lots of information not normally available. An annual model competition is held, which in 1994 is part of the Imperial War Museum's Military Vehicle Show at Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK on Sunday, 7th August. Cost of annual membership/subscription to Tankette is as follows: 7 Pound Sterling for the UK; 9 Pounds Sterling for Europe and Overseas surface mail; 12 Pounds Sterling for Overseas Airmail. Payment should be made out to MAFVA and sent to: The Secretary, Mr G.E.C. Williams, 15 Berwick Avenue, Heaton Mersey, Stockport, Cheshire, SK4 3AA, U.K. Payment is prefered in Sterling though if that is not possible, please add 2 Pound Sterling to cover bank charges.
