No, not pictures of you - they can go in the Profiles section if you want - but pictures of your model masterpieces, whether you built them or not! Send a picture of your model(s), together with any details you care to give - scale, kit or scratch-built, ARTF, etc., etc., and let the rest of us share the pleasure of the results of your hard work or even drool over them with envy! Picture files ideally need to be in JPG format for best colour reproduction and to ensure that our web browsers support them. GIF files are also o.k. but have limitations in their support of colour. Provide only such information as you want published, which can include your full name and e-mail address if you wish.

FOR A STARTER, here's my current pride and joy - and my first-ever fixed wing model, just completed (with a real photo now instead of the test picture that appeared before). She's the New Yamamoto 1600 trainer, with a wingspan of 1600 mm (63 ins).Construction was from a kit and fairly straightforward for a beginner such as me. I was not too sure how I would get on with using Solarfilm for the wings and tail section and although it was a bit tricky at times, I was pleased with the end result. She's fitted out with an Irvine .46 two-stroke engine and Futaba radio gear. I've christened her Dawn after one of my daughters-in-law and I made the name decals on my computer, adding a nice thick border to the lettering as below and filling the background with the same colour as my fuselage paint job. I then cut round the outline of the name and applied the decals to the model overlaid with a slightly larger piece of clear waste from the supplied main decal sheet. [12.02.00]


Now let's enjoy a sight of your favourite model (aircraft, of course - nothing to do with page 3!).
