Dang it, I missed it! And I had some kits to donate as well. I’m bummed.

I have used Imgur and have an account, but they did complicate things so I rarely use it. Every now and then I go check, and after futzing around, I find a way to go back to the classic mode and it’s easier to navigate. I actually have had my own domain for a while, so I’ve been using that to share, but that’s not an option for most.

Yes, welcome back and I hope you get the best results from your surgery!

Keep getting “Not Secure” when logging into ARC.

This is just a guess, but I'm betting that the back-end systems are no longer being maintained, and that's why you're not getting the email. It's related to the "Not Secure" message in that they're both happening due to a lack of site support, but it's not a direct cause. Again, just a guess on my part, though. -
I have a few B-24 kits in the stash that I need to build, and like eraucubsfan, my father was involved with B-24s as well - he was ground support, mostly in Italy, with the 459th. It would be cool to have some markings from those aircraft. I have two of the Monogram kits, and the Hobby Boss 1/32 kit as well. But agreed, the B-17 was promoted much more than the B-24, and has gotten a lot more attention.

You can usually tell your browser to continue loading and get to the site, but if you don't want to do that, instead of going to https://aircraftresourcecenter.com/, manually type in http://aircraftresourcecenter.com/ - without the "s" in http (browsers often add the "s" if you don't type the http:// part of it) and it will probably open the site without errors, you'll just see a lock with a red line through it next to the address to let you know it's not an encrypted connection. -

Here's what I think is the relevant part of the error: It’s likely that the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents [browser] from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. What this means (for those not familiar with it) is that the SSL security certificate for the https connection has expired, which would make sense if Steve is no longer doing anything to support it. It doesn't really mean the site's been hacked or is automatically a security risk, it just means -
This thread has some information about it, and a contact (Raymond Chung):

That looks a lot easier to paint than the earlier F-35s...
-
Great job! The panels and weathering are perfect, not over-done but very noticeable and adding a lot of realism to it. Very impressive!
-
That's pretty cool. I get the impression that the Marines use the F-35C more than the Navy does.
-
Yes, and I hope Steve's doing well!

2024 MCAS Miramar Air Show question
Ken Cartwright replied to Mike J. Idacavage's topic in General Discussion
Nice shots! really nice prop blur, especially on the Osprey. My hands are not stable enough for that :). I ended up getting sick this year and had to miss it. I live pretty close, and had the Blue Angels fly over my house a few times and even got some photos, but it's not the same as being there.
