I typed "3mm circlip" into the Farnell search box and then scrolled down the result page to where it lists 4 different pliers for that circlip.

We have 2 model shops in town, one allows 6 customers at a time and the other takes phone or internet orders and has curbside service. I have been using both shops to pick up my supplies.

I have been making my own latches. A piece of bent wire and a spring rescued from a dried up ball point pen works.

I soldered on the washer, but a locking collar will work.

There was an article in RCM&E

HO train scale seemed to work for me.

I roughly based mine on the Dornier Wal.

Eze -Kote is made for glassing

I've used muriatic acid, but only on galvanized sheet metal.like my downspouts.

I use my Proxxon for stripping spruce and fir, but I use my V-Mar stripper for balsa.

There is also Peters' build article Werewolf

I plan to build your Werewolf Peter, it looks like a warbird fly boy 3.

Same here in the centre of Canada, just email and phone orders.

With all this spare shop time I decided to make a balsa and ply dummy motor for my Cub.

The one picture in his album is of the micro-receiver.

Sorry to read that La Grotte is off limits Chris. Maybe you could find a small corner in your house to carry on with some parts of the build. I do all my building in a 5' 6" x 6' 6" [1.9 x 2.0]metre closet. My wife quilts in a larger room and I build airplanes, that's what will keep us sane over the upcoming months.

I live in the middle of Canada. I have tried the Flugboot off snow, but not water.

Here's my F-86

I just received an email stating that our monthly meeting scheduled for this Sunday has been cancelled. Our city just recorded it's first three cases yesterday.

When I tested my fan I got 559 grams thrust at 33.85 Amps for 351 Watts of power. The basic FMS 50mm fan from Banggood.
