Thanks for the shots though, they are grand! | |

Country:  | Guys your models are very nice. Especially the Sabre 1:250 scale.Nice Cougar32d.As far as the resizing of pics is concerned you can use the Irfanview application.It is easy to make it with this program.Besides it is free.
Otftch what is a scale of your models?

Country: | Be an interesting one to do, that.
Can't decide what to buy next: Swordfish, B-25 (RAF), B-26 (RAF) or a Douglas Boston
