Is this a bug, my computer, what?
Thank you.

It seems to be an issue with some versions of IE (9, 10, 11) interacting with the forum's software. See this thread: Paperclip icon to view a threads attachments

Try another browser. Firefox and Chrome don't seem to have the problem.

So does that mean that an F-16I is off of the table? If you do make it I'm buying

Here are some pics. I have been travelling a bit so I haven't been able to get on my desktop and put the pictures on photobucket but now I can and continue my thread

EDIT: The top picture of the F-104G wont post. I'll take another picture later and post it since it looks pretty cool imho

In another thread there were very nice pictures of a special livery of the Mirage 2000.
I liked it so much I had to do the recolor in 1/300 scale.
Here it is (untested).

Happy "quatorze Juillet" for the French amongst us.

Thank you Bruno! I saw some pictures of the real thing on Instagram and was about to ask Carlos I'll get right on this one (my family is part French)

OK, I need to ask you smt Bruno, this must be a function of Incspace but I better ask: How can you vectorize without loosing much of the detail a bmp or other picture? I tried to create the Greek Mirage with Archangel Michael in the tail and first I used just paint and tried to use it as an object directly on the model...(not very good idea) and then I started tracing it in Incspace which was taking for ever...but at least the result would be closer to the original....seeing your F16 thunderbird and now this M2000 I know you are doing something simpler to get those special paintjobs on the models....Could you please share or it goes under professional secret? Honestly, I accept either answer. Thank you.

I guess what I'm doing is very close to what you try in Inkscape except that I do it in Word. The complex figures are drawn by tracing the contours of an image, using straight or curved lines between the points and then coloring them with the required color using RGB codes.
I know it is tedious but the result is rather satisfying.
