Toshi, What a transformation you have achieved. In such a short time you have turned the difficult build into a stellar build, well done. Really like your painting, cant wait to see it finished.

P.S. Cute grand son, he must like his Pizza having eaten all that... Big Smile

Keep up the fantasic work.

 

Thank you sir.  I'm glad you like my painting. It took awhile but I was finally able to pull it together.  I should be done with it in a couple more days.  Then I'm going to work on my Trumpeter Corsair.  My grandson likes pizza and noodles!  LOL!  Thanks for stopping by!!

She is looking awesome Toshi! I am bummed to hear about the fit issues, because I was looking to getting this kit. I think I'll pick up the old Revelogram 1/48 instead so thanks for letting us know.

Do not worry about being able to only post a link, it works just fine and I always enjoy following your builds. 

By the way, who is that little cutie pie you have in your photo album?

Thank you docidle and thank you for taking the time out to read and reply on my thread, I too am bummed of these fit and Finnish issues.  The older MonogramRevell is a much better kit if you don't want to deal with the headaches involved.  

Thank you for accomaditing to the Flickr account.  That little cuttie pie is my just turned one year of age grandson. Mrs. Toshi and I love him so much!  Thank you for the read and reply!

Wow!  Nice job Toshi!  I love that blue. 

 

Thank Keyda81.  I use the blue for specific new WWII planes that haven't seen combat yet it's called insignia blue.  I love it.  It gives it the museum quality look.  And sometimes I really enjoy that look.  There's still more to come as I have not done the beaching gear, decals, and the final touch up.

Looking good !!!! Dont worry about the posting pictures issue. There are a few of us here that can't even spell compooter but clicking on your links is easy enough.

Just remember Scottys line from Star Trek 4 The voyage home......

Keyboard. How quaint.

 

Thank you Sir, I definitely won't.  LOL!  As long as you can point the mouse to the link and click, I'm very very happy.  At least Scotty had a keyboard.  I don't even have a keyboard.  How lame is that!  LOL!  My keyboard is screen generated with iris technology.  wow.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the extra time of your busy schedule to read and reply on my thread!

Good work Toshi! It looks very advanced ... The work with the masks in the canopy is always complex. 

If you want, you can upload the images from Flickr directly to this forum.

Toshi,

I think you're doing a fantastic job on this kit which would probably have left me in tears looking at all the small plastic pieces I'd have to pick up from having smashed it against the floor Big Smile. Seriously, your patience and increasing skills are testiment to what can be done with an ill-engineered kit.

OT ... I'm a visual learner so written explanations are sometimes difficult for me to grasp. I am going to post how I believe you should be able to post images from Flickr using your iPhone but, as you've already said, you don't see the black area with the symbols. I just don't understand that but I take you at your word. Perhaps there's a different matrix/html code for Apple products than for Word/Android OS's. At any rate, FWIW, if you WERE able to see the area in question, here's how I believe you could post images from Flickr to FineScale:

 

Your too kind with your views in my meager skills.  I am most humbled.  All I did was to follow an example of the many talented professionals that work their magic on these styrene kits.  I can only hope to someday Master half the skills needed to do so.

As for the Flickr issue, I have that same arrow symbol you refer to except it directs me to several apps to post to (FB, Twitter, email, text) and save image, URL, and set cover photo.  Hence all I have as a choice is URL.  

Thank you for your valuable time in trying to show me how to post photos but I guess Windows base systems as oppose to IOS base systems don't have the criteria needed to post photos.  Once again, thank you!

Toshi

Man. I finally get to see some pics looks good .are you going to leave that over spray ? I like it. 

 

Yes, thank you so very much for your patience.  I greatly appreciate it.  I know that your time is very valuable.  So thank you!

Yes, I will leave it like that as that's the design that I see on the charts, online, and other references.  I too like the way it looks!  Thanks for stopping by, it's great to hear from you again.

To my fellow forum members,

Please except my apologies in regards to my photos being a Flickr URL Link,  due to the fact that I'm not with PB anymore.

For some reason or another, my IOS program will only allow Flickr URL Links.  So if you don't mind, just click the link to view my photos.  I want to thank you all for this mishap and thank you for the support, read, and replies.  

This means so much to me as it helps with my cognition and comprehension.  Plus it's a requirement from my pshycologist or more like a demand from her in that I must do this in order to get better.

So in essence, you're all my therapy helpers for me and that's what makes me so humbled and courteous to you all as you help me each and everyday! 

Thank you,

Allan Toshio Miura, Jr.

Sorry Bish, on my iPad pro and my new iPhone 7+ I don't have this option.  The only option I can choose to utilize that pops up is the URL.  I can live with this as long as you and forum members don't mind.  I even showed my daughter whom has a degree in photography from Kent State, and she can't find it either.  

Im so sorry Bish, if you don't mind as well as other forum members don't mind, all I have is the URL link.  Just click that and it'll take you to the photo.  I'm so sorry Bish!  Please except my apologies!

When you open the image, you have 4 icons on the bottom right of the black portion. The option i use is the ''Download this photo'' link, arrow pointing down to a line. A box opens, select ''View all sizes''. Then select the sizeyou wnat, i use Medium 640. Select that and then copy and paste the URL into the insert image box.

The other option i can't do on your account. Use the share photo optiont, lelect BBCode and copy and paste the link straight onto a post, don't use the insert image option on here. Thats quicker but you end up with all the following text linked to your image.

Toshi, how are you getting your links from there. there area few ways to do it.

 

When I click the send button there is the email and text icons.  Then on the bottom there is the URL button. That's what I'm using.  How did you do this?  Please advise!

To my fellow forum members,

I tried to open a different account in Mrs. Toshi's name on PB.  It worked for a while then as you can see now this is a terrible way to end PB.  I'll never use them again.  Ever!  

Due to the new equipment Mrs. Toshi just purchased for me of which is an IOS Program I can only use Flickr.  With Flickr, your going to get the URL only.  Just click that and it will direct you to the appropriate photo of my build.  

Please except my apologies in this matter, I even had M. Brindos help me with other formats and it just didn't work due to the IOS programming.  I've tried it on the iPad Pro, Airpad, and iPhone 7 plus to no avail.  i can only use Flickrs URL.  

So this is how I'll be showing my photos from now on.  I hope you don't mind and once again, I'm so sorry for this unexpected situation.

Toshi
