1/144 Airco DH.2 British WWI fighter.

The D.H.2 biplane was Geoffrey de Havilland's second design for the Aircraft Manufacturing Company. This highly successful pusher had good maneuverability with an excellent rate of climb. Mounting the engine to the rear of the fuselage permitted the use of a fixed, forward-firing machine gun before the advent of the synchronous machine gun. Superior to the Fokker E.III, the D.H.2 helped end the "Fokker Scourge." Well past its prime and almost two years after its introduction, some squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps were still equipped with D.H.2s.

Perfect for the wargamers and collectors.

Detailed sniper assault rifle with flip-down bipod converts into a 56mm robot action figure with 9 points of articulation.

Gun mode comes with a choice of three handles, any one of which can be fit onto the figure during assembly (and since they are attached via a simple clip-in hinge, you can keep the others handy and swap them later if you choose). Option 1 is a standard 5mm post, which is compatible with any figure bearing a 5mm peg hole. Options 2 and 3 are modified versions of the post, which can still be used by figures with 5mm peg holes, but also have built-in clips which allow them to clip onto any 3mm diameter rail. One version has the opening of the clip positioned parallel to the length of the gun, the other perpendicular.
 
Supplied as a 18-piece kit. Finishing (painting/dyeing) required, alternatively can be purchased in one of the available pre-dyed colours .

If you purchase Salvo, in any material, I'd love to see your results in the "It Arrived" forum!

I suggest the gold-plated glossy material. The pitting and smoothing of the model that occurs when the plating is applied makes the key look old and worn. It's fantastic.

Billina showed her the place where she had "stubbed her bill," as she expressed it, and Dorothy dug away the sand until she felt something hard. Then, thrusting in her hand, she pulled the thing out, and discovered it to be a large sized golden key--rather old, but still bright and of perfect shape.

"What did I tell you?" cried the hen, with a cackle of triumph. "Can I tell metal when I bump into it, or is the thing a rock?"

"It's metal, sure enough," answered the child, gazing thoughtfully at the curious thing she had found. "I think it is pure gold, and it must have lain hidden in the sand for a long time. How do you suppose it came there, Billina? And what do you suppose this mysterious key unlocks?"

Thinkpad Caddy for Micro SATA to 44pin IDE Adapter

This caddy is designed to carry a Micro-SATA to IDE Adapter (purchase from www.microsatacables.com) and a 1.8" SSD or HDD of 5mm height. It is useful for updating oldschool Thinkpads (e.g. T42) having an IDE interface with modern SATA SSDs. The caddy has the size and shape of a 2.5" HDD mounted into a Thinkpad HDD caddy (thus, the original Thinkpad HDD caddy is not needed any more).

How to use

Order caddy, adapter and 1.8" SSD (5mm high). Please, note: You will get the caddy only from here. Assemble as described below and replace original HDD. In case you do not know how to replace the old HDD: Let it be done from the next Thinkpad addict you can catch or downlad your Thinkpads HMM (Hardware Maintenance Manual) from Lenovos website.

Assembly

1. Put the adapter in place: Insert it with the pins ahead slanted from above. Push it slightly down forward into the adapters holder. 
2. Put the SSD in place: Slide it in from the caddys backside.
3. In case, you worry about possible disengagement of the SSD from the adapter you might fix the SSD with tape (wrap it around the back beam).
