ZIROLI P-51 scratch build
Well after a long delay of buying wood and building courage, I have finally started the scratch build of my Ziroli P-51. I started with the stabalizer(mainly because I had the wood for that). I anticipate a long build as I am buying wood as I can afford it as well as the engine and landing gear. If anyone out there has built this plane of has any tips, please share as this is my first giant scale warbird, Not first scratch build however. I will be posting pictures of the build as it progresses. Thank you for your support in this project.

Scott,
There are a few methods to post pictures. If you have them on a site where folks can view them, you can usually embed them.
Easier, though, is to just use the link at the bottom of the edit or reply window "Click here to upload images and files!"
Just make sure and resize your pictures from the original size. They can be quite large and too high res for a forum. There is a really nice plug-in for resizing, just google or your favorite web search engine the term "powertoys image resizer". It is a utility that is available on the Microsoft web site that will allow you to resize for a 1280x1024 viewing, which is perfect for this forum or most others. Or 1024x768 will work well too.

Well the best I could do is post my pic in the giant scale photo gallery at the top of the page. It is listed as P-51 stab. thanks for looking and any tips or advise.
