Brian, I can see them....Harv

 

You can see these Harv?

 

Hey guys,

 

This might be a tall order for me but here goes!

I wish to depict the first racing Corsair, Cook Cleland's N°92 from the 1946 Cleveland national air races, he flew a "scarcely-modified FG1-D" to "a very honourable sixth place"

 

 

I have just ordered the Tamiya F4U-1A that I will attempt to modify into the FG1-D, it looks like the hardest part will be the frameless canopy. I had thought that surly someone has made a vac-formed canopy but I have been unable to find anything.

 

At this stage I am contemplating a "in flight" display, going round a pylon at full noise just off the deck.

I can see them, which suggests to me that Photobucket has some regional issues.

Even more bizarre. Not ever heard of a site sporadically showing pics in some regions of the world and not others.  Even stranger still, is that all of us, Harv and I are probably the closest to each other regionally. 

 

 

Sorry for the hi-jack!

Sorry guys, I think the PB problem was one of my own making....

When I uploaded the photots to PB yesterday it would not let me create a new sub-album, then today for no good reason it would let me. (I like to group my photos together to keep everything neat and tidy).

Once I had changed to a new sub-folder I checked to make sure the photos were still showing and everything was working fine on my end.

I have now edited my first post with new links si I trust that the issue will be resolved now.

 

Sorry for the muck around. :oops:
