    All is well until step 4, when I click "insert into post" nothing happens.

    Hi, Yes. the built in image posting thingy ma jig works ok, but for some images I would still like to use Flickr.

    That’s the same though? You don’t have to register to the HMRC ‘VAT at source’ scheme and you can still send goods as long as the value is greater than £135, the onus is then on the recipient to pay the VAT. You’re correct in saying that you only need to be registered in one of the EU member states and be able to trade with the entire EU, however VAT will charged at the rate applicable to the destination country. The limits are on par with the UK with the VAT free limit being abolished and a higher limit of 150E put in place. Your books will be open for inspection in t

    The Post Office(Royal Mail), never added on VAT based on the goods unless it was over a certain amount, it was Custom and Excise charges along with the VAT that was related to those charges which was paid. These charges didn’t apply to goods/gifts under a certain value, however that value differed depending on what the goods were. Some goods including modelling supplies were exempt(if you use the correct commodity code), and this hasn’t changed. What has changed is the HMRC is now recouping VAT at source in order to capture the billions that are lost each year. You will still be liable for any

    That's what I used to do, although I had to leave the [img] at the beginning and end, and it worked fine. [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51111720546_ab0939ba74_b.jpg[/img] I've just posted the above link on another two forums and it embeds itself no problems, I'm stumped. Thanks for you help dogsbody

    Just tried to upload some photographs onto the site from my Flickr account using the BBCode facility, with no luck. Has this method been disabled as that's been the way I've always done it on here and other sites?

    Good work on the missiles and tanks, they’ve came out really well. Regards the colours. FS35164 isn’t used on the Aegean Ghost scheme, so I would get rid of that straight away. Looking at the pictures above I would use 35237, 36307 and 36251 straight out of the bottle. I’ve never used AK paints myself, but if you could spray all 3 colours on a test piece, I will give my honest opinion. FS35237 can be very deceiving in photographs and more often than not appears far more Blue than it actually is. I’m unable to upload pictures from my phone but I’ll get some up tonight when I can ac

    I think it will be a pretty good seller in Europe, considering it was one of the main attack a/c of the Cold War era.

    I think the 48er’s received or were due to receive an order from them soon, so I assume they are still open?

    Standard weapons for the timeframe would have been standard Mk80 series of dumb bombs both slick and retarded, Mk 20 Rockeye cluster bombs, AGM-65D(maybe G as well)Mavericks. B-43/61 Tactical Nukes would’ve been part of their arsenal as well. In the air to air role although they would’ve been AIM -120 capable, the more common fit was 4 x AIM-9L/M.

    The 527th operated Blk30 jets in the GE engine/NSI intake combo.
  15. scotthldr
    The Academy kit would be suitable for an early Blk25 mid 80’s to mid 90’s timescale. The 50th TFW at Hahn and the 86th TFW at Ramstein both operated the Blk25. In fact the Ramstein jets actually ended up at Hahn in order to replace the A/B versions of the 50th, whilst the 86th then received Blk30 a/c. When the 50th deactivated in late 1991, I’m not sure where their a/c ended up although I have a suspicion that they went back Stateside with some re equipping the Indiana ANG amongst others.

    For your timescale in pairing up with a F-4G from the 52nd we’re looking around the late 80’s, and the F-16 would’ve been a Block 30B jet. Now these F-16’s had the General Electric engine and the smaller NSI (Normal Stock Intake) jet intake. Both of these are to be found in some of the Hasegawa kits and from the description that yours has AGM-88’s HARM’s in it, makes me believe that your kit is one of them.(The kit will have two different types of intake and exhausts). The sure way of telling is the Fiscal year in the serial number. If the decals are for a 85 a/c then the above app

    Looking good, For masking the drop tanks, two ways come to mind. photocopy decals 52 and 58 and make some sort of template from them. or Cut off the forward White part(TigerClaw?)of decals 52/58, paint entire drop tank White, apply all the Black and Orange decals, then give a good coat of clear gloss varnish to seal them, let varnish to cure for a week, then mask off applied decals from the area to be painted Black, spray Black, then apply the White part of decal 52/58, reseal with clear gloss.

    Hi all, Does anyone know what colour of Grey the French use on the Mica missiles . I’ve looked around the ‘net but can’t find any definitive answer? MTIA Scott

    In some sort of digital restoration effort the image has been altered to a point where the Grey has washed out rendering it useless for comparing colours. We know that the AIM9 is 36375, but in the picture it looks more like 36270 and the White portion is totally obliterated. The whole contrast of the picture is shot. The links I posted(thanks for pointing out they weren't working), show a colour that is nowhere near "near White" and certainly not Boeing Grey(which is different to FS36515). I was merely pointing out that 36307 was referenced to by Armycast on it's she

    That first picture of the F-5 is so over exposed on the airframe it's useless to use that to compare anything. https://www.the-northrop-f-5-enthusiast-page.info/Pictures/USAF/00881SideA.jpg https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/model/Northrop F-5F Tiger II F-5B in what appears to the same colour https://www.the-northrop-f-5-enthusiast-page.info/Pictures/USAF/00441.jpg

    The Armycast 1/48 ‘Tigers’ decal sheet has a Light Grey NASA bird on it. You can’t quite make out the colour call out but to me it looks like FS36307, which when compared to photographs of the actual a/c looks right. This is the same colour as the lightest of the 3 Greys on the Aegean Ghost scheme and depending on the light can look from off White to Medium Grey to the eye.

    Nice work on the missiles, hard to believe that you're a recent newcomer to the hobby👍. A-7 looks good as well, you kept that one quiet.

    The Dark Blue roundels are only found on F-16 Blk 30's of 330 Mira. For the 343 Mira jet you might get off with using the Light Blue roundels from the Kinetic sheet, however the Blue on the unit band is too light, although it might be passable. I used the Two Bobs sheet for mine, but that is probably too dark. I'm pretty sure the serial numbers on all jets are the same Grey, just that it blends in more against the Have Glass finish of the 340/343M jets(some 330M jets have Black serials). From memory the Kinetic serials are too light and more or less disappear once appli

    Hey Thanos, great to see you back👍🏻 How are you coping with all that snow? It was weird seeing pictures from Athens today with the Acropolis and Filopappou Hill covered in it, not often that happens. The only difference from a modelling perspective on the AIM -120C is the colour of bands on the missile body( training round 3 Blue bands, Live round 1 Yellow 2 Brown). Remember to use the short finned AMRAAMs with the fairing on the side of the body. As for pictures, there was a F-16D 52M at the A-7 retirement event loaded up with AIM-120/AIM-7 and GBU. Unfortunately

    This whole crazy saga has set our hobby back 25yrs in the UK, struggling to get any kind of supplies shipped here now, whether from the US, Japan or Europe.
