Michael51 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Sorry about that chaps. Being low-tech has its social limitations. I have tried mightily to break into this photo posting business over the last month or so and even 'though i have followed the directions for posting I just cannot get it to work - even posted a help request in another part of the site. Is flickr the way to go or, as someone suggested, Village Photos? If there is a way i would love to present my middle-of-the-road offerings for other works as well. By the way, the use of the term 'atmospheric' aludes to a rather mediocre photo of two of my Canberras sitting on a shelf, with the original Airfix box, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If your use of the term "atmospheric" involves even a small dollop of pure, unadulterated, unexpurgated nostalgia with wings bring it on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently use Photobucket but that is not without its problems. Jay aka Mountain Goat uses Flikr, he's a helpful chap so I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving you a quick tutorial if you PM him. Looking forward to the results. Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael51 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 By now Algy could see that Biggles was rapidly losing control of the computer. 'That damn flickr mechanism. I told Wingco it was useless' yelled Biggles. 'Yes, maybe we should have kept things analog, especially for a chap your age. Must be getting on to seventy aren't you?' replied Algy. For this Algy received several facial cuts from a SOD Airfix Vulcan that Biggles had by him. 'So that's why you always carry that with you' exclaimed Algy. But Biggles was already screaming again. 'Where is that tech-savvy daughter-in-law of mine when you need her?' 'At work I suppose, like the rest of the millennials'. At this point, Biggles put the computer into a steep dive.................

Moggy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This is a bit late in the day, but is there anything wrong wit the Freightdog FSD 72019? Hannant's has it in stock : https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/FSD72019 BTW if anybody feels like selling an unwanted Airfix B.(I).6 I'll definitly buy it! I have an Aeroclub nose vac waiting for it. I've already done one in Argentine colours as a T.64 (bombed up) in 1982. I have some mediocre pictures of it if somebody is interested...

Cheers, Moggy Show us what you've got Moggy, you can never have too many Canberra's IMO. As for that decal sheet? My personal favourite is the Tatty Ton (100 Sqn) B.2 followed by the 98 Sqn E.15! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggy Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Some pictures of the building process. Project started 1989; laid aside (after completing fuselage with Aeroclub nose) when DB Models produced a beautiful resin nose, detailed cockpit and engines conversion set for the (then new) Italeri B-57. BTW I completed THAT project in a few months (1992) as Argentine AF B-102. So I have two Argentine Canberras B mk.62 & T mk.64.

Michael51 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Moggy, May I ask what method you employ to post such fine photographs? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggy Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Hi Michael! I use Imgur. I have an account in Photobucket but there's so many ads that it just doesn't work any longer BTW i HATE advertising unchecked. The pictures you see: you just click them in Imgur and shift them onto the answer window - you then get two sizes and you choose between them by simply marking and deleting the one you don't want. The pictures are resizable. I'm in the process of liquidating my Photobucket account. Edited May 6, 2017 by Moggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been so pretentious as to make the claims he made about them. For me, they are well moulded and when built, surprisingly in scale models. I believe in enjoying the modelling process, which that fellow obviously did but I wouldn't bother to rescribe a kit, nor put high lighting into the grooves. To me, most aircraft panelling disappears when more than a few metres from the aircraft so, I ask, "why bother?" His filing down the original mouldings was interesting but IMHO, unnecessary. The model assembles well, if you pay attention to the flash and the moulding gates. It paints well, with a good undercoat. The decals apply well as well. Don't get lost in trying to emulate others, is my motto. Do as well as you can on the next kit, just do better than the last. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
