From wiki there is a link, the Latin name for the albatross means storm bird "Andy,
Also I would like to pay your attention to the "Sturmvogel". It also doesn't have anything common with the weather. As far as I know the German word means the albatross or shearwater/mutton bird.

The name Diomedea, assigned to the albatrosses by Linnaeus, references the mythical metamorphosis of the companions of the Greek warrior Diomedes into birds. Finally, the name for the order, Procellariiformes, comes from the Latin word procella meaning "a violent wind" or "a storm".[6]" Other members of the family are the storm petrels.
Off topic but I am sorting out pictures for my GB Spitfire, what is the recommended picture size, in KB?
The attachent size is limited to 1,024MB as memo serves. Pratcially the server limits it to 95MB or so for a file. Therefore it i s not important what the file size but the image size. IMHO the nice size of images here is 900-1600/1800 pixels in its width. These of the width 900 pix look nice on my screen at least. These larger also because these are fitted to the screen automatically. So you may set them as the full size displaying. Additionally you know, the larger file the longer uploading. So if your net connection is quite limited in the speed I would suggest the smaller pics.
Thanks I usually take them at maximum size which is in GB I'll see how they come out.The attachent size is limited to 1,024MB as memo serves. Pratcially the server limits it to 95MB or so for a file.

Pbehn I believe you have seen some of the postings of my beer hauler ICM Spitfire? I will be interested to see if you can get that engine to fit within the fuselage and pieces provided. It seems the only way to get these to play nice together is to do the open option? If you have already attached the fuselage halves together with the access panels attached, good luck. Pictures are really a great communication tool.Great news for me, especially about the finish date, I've been working hard on the Spitfire (one of them) but havnt posted photos yet as I am experimenting a bit and reluctant to post the numerous cock ups, got the engine(s) done today.... almost. I may need some help from others who have done this kit, for me the undercarriage is too long, it doesnt sit right to my eyes. Will sort things soon hopefully.
I've been watching the posts with interest here and although I am deffo a beginner. I just started the thread I will discuss there.Pbehn I believe you have seen some of the postings of my beer hauler ICM Spitfire?

Start a thread with pics. Tidbits, like the decals in this ICM series kit. They are really thin, lay down well, but have a tendency to want to fold over themselves, will appear and help you along.I've been watching the posts with interest here and although I am deffo a beginner.

If I can source a 1:48 Hawker Typhoon canopy, I'd be in (or at least start- I'm a serial starter!).
Bubble, thanks! Wowzers- the postage and packing is eye-wateringly expensive- double the cost of the canopy!Went to the LHS today and saw nothing of interest to compete with my already-chosen Typhoon. However, I did order a 1/48 Hasegawa Macchi C.202 cuz I don't have one and only have one other Italian machine in my collection. We'll see if I have time to squeeze two in but I might start with the Folgore, given I've already built the same Tiffie in GB-47.
