As soon as i can sort out how to add photos to a topic  iam hoping to share some whatifs that me and my sons have built over the years

such as the
Super fury
westland iceni
fairy firestorm
sea lighting f8
EE canberra/auckland
avro agincourt

HOW DO I ADD THE PHOTOS??

Remember, if the reality police ask you haven't seen us in ages!
When does "old enough to know better" kick in?

You need to host the photos somewhere else on the internet and make a photo link here (preferably in a size that fits on a computer screen...).

Flickr and Photobucket are used very commonly, but there are other sites where you can upload pictures. Possibly even facebook (???)

Now that's pretty darn good, right on the money  for this place!  :thumbsup: :bow:

If you link your photos elsewhere by using the img pairings rather than the http pair, the piccie will appear itself rather than the link. Like this :-



You can get that pairing via the 2nd icon in from the left on the second row above. Looks like a PC screen with two eyes.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

This button:



so your link ends up looking like this, but without the space after "img" (I added that to make the img tag visible):

But Grandmother, why are you so white? erm... I mean is the Superfury in winter camo?

Tigerforce lancasters were painted white to reflect heat in the far east so i thought that the superfury should do the same due to the large wing area

thanks for the help earlier

That looks interesting. Your image is a bit small: I think you got the file name of a thumbnail. I made a wild guess, removed "th_" from the file name and got this:

A Turbo Firefly? That's a pretty new idea, nice work.  :thumbsup: :bow:

Love the white paintjob - though my first thought was "Anti-flash white? Well, a Superfury certainly makes for a good tac nuke strike fighter" ...  ;D
The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.

Well, if the Skyraider could do it, why not a Fury? :thumbsup:
