Will post more randoms later.

P.S.
Does anyone know where I can upload some high-res pics so they won't lose their resolution and quality? Thanks!

 

[Bombardier]

Great arty pics mate, thanks

I think the only place would be an image hosting site like photobucket.
The problem with high res images is that they use up valuable bandwidth and as we are only using the images for informational or discussion purposes we limit the size.
You could see about free web space (although that is usually limited) you could then upload them there and post a link to the high res version)

 

[MG42Power]

Thanks for the info, Bombardier. 2 pics for now, for some reason the pics I upload won't show up. I'll try again later.
Until then, a T80 and a Il-78
