Click on the pic after uploading. On the right you'll find four options: Email, Direct, HTML, IMG. Left-click on IMG. It ill turn yellow, indicating "Copied". No go to your reply and simply paste the pic with a right click.

Hi RR, this has been depicted in an excellent diorama, seen in the current AFV Modeller mag. PM me your email and I'll forward it to you to read.
For some reason, the photos are not showing, but it is the Merk III in mud up to the turret...
Best regards,
Kylie
