Try "imgur" (google it). It works fine for me and easy to work with.

Got it to work.  Thanks UFAG!

I am starting work on Wingnut Wings excellent NINAK kit and will be building it as the Polikarpov R-1.  This kit arrived with the sprues warped so I will be doing some straightening of the parts.  I wrote to Wingnut asking for replacement wing and horizontal tail parts and they are sending me replacements, I love Wingnut Wings!!!

Looking forward to your build. I have been following your comments on FB so have seen the engine cylinders  ::)

The crankcase to the Mikulin M-5 engine (Liberty V-12 clone) that powers the R-1.

I am off to a great start, promptly cutting off the locating stubs by accident.  Luckily I did not clean up the remaining part too much and the "ghosts" are still visible so I should be able to align the engine using them.

As you can see the warping even effects some parts as small as the cylinders!  Easily fixed though.

Sort of shocking for a WNW kit but I am sure you will get it straightened out... literally!
