Go into your gallery. Select the picture you want to post. Click "Copy." Then just right click and paste what you copied into your forum post.

Hello Silentsteel

Just to let you know that you also uploaded a pic to a wrong folder
It's in here: http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/15184

Could you move it to your gallery please?
And they look great, BTW
Try only to put some more dirt near the bolts

Keep up your good work,

Skipper

PS: If you need any help moving the picture, please ask!

Thanks for the praise on the wheels

They are a work in progress I am still working on them as I speak, and I will post updated pics as and when I have them...and maybe the pic of the whole tank when finished.

Thanks for the input

Whatever,
Copy while you are in the gallery and then come back to the forums to paste the URL to the picture.
You have to paste it in the text box that comes up when you reply to or create a post. That is the text box you typed your text into to respond in this topic.

Hope that makes sense.

Here an up date on the roadwheels of my Tiger. The hubs are in the process of getting the same technique I used on the roadwheels, And the hull is paint red for a basecoat just like a real one was.

In reply to your original question, your KT is the Henschel version with their roadwheels. The Porsche type, of which only 50 or so were built, had a smaller diameter wheel, with smoother and flatter sides with no bolts, and a much more prominant hub.
