Thumbs up Planes and background photos

I decided to take some of my planes outside on the balcony with my old standby background I salvage from the days I did model trains.

However, I am in need to update and have no time for any photoshoping. I want to know if anyone knows where I can order a background poster.


In the meantime here are some pics.

Also, against the AN-2 flying over the Tokyo skyline

take some photos yourself (of sky, clouds, etc.) and then get a few of the better ones printed large...

My printer only does A4 or Letter size. I need a much larger background.

They really look great. Some would make good posters.

Check the printer setttings to see if it can print one image across several pages. Then you will need to tape or glue the parts together.

Interesting. I will check my Epson Workforce 630 to see if it has the option of stringing pages.


Thanks

I usually build one model aircraft in 1/33 scale a month. I kept that pace since about 2006, with some stops for plastic models as well. To me it is a relaxation tool. After a long day of work and being with the family, I like to take 30 minutes or so and build. On the weekend I do it longer, but never more that one hour at a time. I take lots of breaks and do other things as well.

My view out of the apartment balcony is very nice. I am very lucky.

After I finish with my Luft 46 series, I still have to build the F-4E Karpada repaint which looks complicated. Do you know if there is a Vautour kit somewhere? I would like to build it in 1/33 scale. I built a plastic version of the IIN in 1/48 scale.

Take care and best of luck with the P-80 model development.


Isaac
