Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build-image posting

Hmm, web "hosting".... Well that's all well and good for people who comprehend the Internet...which is like saying for people who comprehend the universe. 

ANYWHO... I am just going to post a URL for folks who want to see my photo.  It's all I can do at this point.  

http://www.geocities.com/stephen.mark/Airacobra.htm

Enjoy.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build-image posting

Steve, you already been there and done that on the web hosting thing.  When you get to the window that opens when you click the "reply" button on this forum, click on the tree icon next to the smiley face at the top.  In the window that opens there, paste in the link you just put in this post, and you will have posted a photo.  Try it, you'll like it.  You may want to get a littile brighter light for your camera, it weill help the colors a lot.  Try taking the picture outside.

Here is your picture added the way I described, but I replaced the airacobra.htm with index/airacobra.jpg, which is where the picture is on your webpage:

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build-image posting

Wow great.  Thanks a ton. I guess I am spoiled with too many easy, automated web procedures.  Actually that photo was taken outside, but with a simple point and shoot on automatic mode.  I will take some more as the project progresses and work on the quality.  We had a speaker at our local model club on the subject of photography - it was very helpful, for example with the idea of a sheet of lt. blue card stock as a background, the angles, and so forth.  I will try a few more ideas to see how they come out...

Tha nks again.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

wing nut,

So I get this 1988 Fiero from my Dad (he retired a few years ago and finally grew tired of getting in and out of the vehicle), and suddenly I have this interest in all things mid-engined!  I now have in my stash both of the Accurate Miniatures releases (Cactus Air Force and racer) and plan on starting one in the near future.  My quesion is, do you have room for one more?  I do have a commissioned piece and one other project ahead of the Airacobra, but I should be starting on it in the next couple of months.  Let me know.


Scott

Oh well it looks like the patch didn't work..  no worries. just paste this URL in your browser.

 http://www.geocities.com/stevescalemodels/index/Airacobra-MkI-compress.JPG

And you can see this pretty little snake (cobra, snake, get it?).

OH I SEE WHAT"S WRONG!!!!  Geocities is a free site and has limited bandwidth so right now it's not available since I overloaded it.  It should be back soon.

You know, this hobby can become an obsession.  That's where I'm at right now with RAF fighters.  Man, I just have to build them all!  I just started a Spitfire, a subject I have not modeled since I was a kid. I already did a Hurk:

 

Then there are other marks of Spits and Hurks, plus the Mossie, the Meteor, let's see what am I missing? 

So many planes, so little time!

Steve

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build-image posting

a couple more photos: the Airacobra interior.  Suprisingly what you are looking at is the kit decal on the kit dashboard.  Although there are a few Eduard photoetch parts there too.

 

Secondly, a photo of the Airacobra together with a Hurricane Mk IID from 164 Squadron.  I was interested in this build for several reasons: #1 I got theHobbycraft kit really cheap, about $6. US.  #2,I knew I could build it parallel w. the Airacobra (same paint job, etc). #3, I found out that the 164 Sq. had a lot of Argentinian volunteers, and I like to represent planes with a twist like that, plus I have Argeninian friends.  And #4, the RAF bug bit! 

 I'm not happy with the way that the photo came out.  I will work on it sometime when the lighting conditions are better.

Steve

The interior of the cobra looks great. The Eduard kit is really a good kit, I really enjoyed building mine. (back a page or two). Make sure you post another pic when you get the lighting better.
