UPLOADING PICS - JAPANESE PAINT COLOR

[iambrb]

So I just tried to upload this to the Coppermine gallery

http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=155708&d=1422151906

And then post & I got a big fat fail. Could someone please post the steps to correctly upload pics in a method OTHER than photobucket?

Also please check the light green color of the tail of this Japanese Kate, anyone got an idea of the color if that baby?

This is not a fact but judging by the over all tones of that drawing , it could just be yellow :idonno Just a thought.

I doubt the torpedo warhead is also light green .

There is an aftermarket set of decals that has the tail painted yellow.

Bet y'all are right.

The Torpedo is painted green so as it slices thru the water you can't see it comin'

Hey neat little side-story related to my painting the torpedo tip green:

So back in the day, I used to work part time at a gun shop, and we would work gun shows. One of the owners had a friend that would setup at our table and we would share some space with him, really just an opportunity for those two old guys to sit and shoot the crap. And this guy could sure shoot it too. Anyway, the guy had some WW2 vintage Russian Tracer ammo, which for them, the bullet (not the case, just e bullet) were typically dipped in white paint. A guy approached the table and asked about the white tipped ammo, and our friend informed him that it was tracer. The guy asked why it was painted white, and our friend informed the guy that it was to differentiate it from other ammo, which typically at that time standard ammo had a 'copper wash' applied to it. The guy stood there and blinked for a sec, clearly not understanding. Now the Russians could have used any color, but that is what they used, and the guy just sort of stood there for a sec, and so our friend offered "Well they were in the snow alot you know, and the white bullet meant you couldn't see 'em coming...." The guy nodded, and bought every round on the table!
