I used to move a lot, and I'm the kind of bloke who likes to keep his previous builds - so I'd pack them up and tote them along, knowing that no matter what I'd be doing repair work.  One of those unfortunate builds was an Airfix Typhoon.
Post-move, it was missing the canopy, the spinner and cannon barrels vanished into the U-Haul void.  <sigh>  I hate to consign models to the scrap heap, even more than I hate repair work. 
However, I had an idea to resurrect the old Tiffy ... Here it is.

This is what it was supposed to look like:

Post-surgery, this is how it is now:

Might cause grass fires operating from rough fields but it looks great.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

You can link directly to the image and display it.

All you need do is right click on your image picture, choose "copy image location".  Then,  in another browser tab, where you have your post ready to go, choose where you want the image and right click there and choose "paste".   Then, highlight the URL which has appeared and choose the little Mona Lisa picture in the top left hand corner of your post window.   This will put the [img} tags around it.   If your image is too large, click after the first img tag and type in:  "width=640 height=480".   Then click on the preview button and see if it appears.    :thumbsup:

Or he can resize them on upload, just using the images page, on the right side of the screen there are the tabs with the options to choose from. One can even upload them directly into an album. Then simply click on image and copy the BB code for message boards and forums, and paste it here in your comment. If you're in the album page, when you put the mouse over an image, it automatically shows a copy tab on the right upper corner, just click on that and get the share link, again, BB code. It's very easy to do. :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks!  :) 

Rickshaw, Dogfighter Zen, I'll give that a try for next time.
