I've got two of those left over from my days on the boards. They're on my modeling bench somewhere, just gotta find 'em.

Yes, this problem occurs everywhere around the globe at the moment. Maybe this will answer some of your questions, especially the post from Tom (barkingdigger):
https://archive.kitmaker.net/forums/285795&page=1
I also read somewhere, that the Kitmaker Gallery is closed down for a while because of that server issues. So you're probably not able to upload photos for some time.
I had the same problems with all Kitmaker sides earlier this week but at the moment it works fine for me over here in Germany.
Happy Sunday and happy modelling!
Torsten
I'd post an update on my Spitfire build, but........

Looking good. As a fellow Spitfire builder all I can say is the more the merrier!
There can never be enough Spitfires, 1:1 or otherwise
As a temporary workaround for the KM Gallery issues currently going on, I've patched in a link to a 3rd party hosting site...
Fingers crossed this works...
Decals going on, but the decal setting solution I have at hand (Decalfix) is not as strong as required to settle them nicely, so Microsol is on order and hopefully arrives in the next few days to remedy the situation

Excellent work, Ezra! 
That machine looks really hard-worked after many sorties.
The weathering looks phantastic.
My congrats!
Cheers

Thanks Pete, your Mustang looks Amazing as well! (Way better then mine!) I am soooo glad to have it done, I had a ton of problems (all my fault) with the canopy and the OD, not being happy with my custom faded olive drab paint mix, although I really only have my self to blame as throughout the whole build (and every build) I was blasting my brains out with AC-DC, Nirvana and areosmith. (A great aid to concentrate 
!) Gota love the oldies! (oldies for me at least!)

Russel, I cant wait to see the Spit in her final livery.
Ezra, the A-36 looks great.
I am putting on the oil filters then a pin wash and will be finished myself.

Ezra, the A-36 looks amazing. I can't find anything to criticize, the weathering in particular is superb.

Ezra fantastic work on your A-36 
Bob here's a glimpse of what she'll look like
not the greatest photo by any standard, as I was in a hurry when I took it, but just good enough for a hint of the final finish...
Struggling at the moment to get the decals to settle

I am nearly there with my bf109. I had a lot of fun with the painting and so far I am really pleased with it. I have just put a gloss coat and it looks so wrong but here we go:
Decals next.

Russell, your Spit comes along really nice. A silver Spit always looks special. Have also one in my stash somewhere ....
Carlos, good to see another One-O-Nine on the way. Painting looks great.

Nice work, all!
Here's where I am on the Tamiya P-51C:
I still think I can get it done in time.

Nice NMF Michael.
Question: if I use a blue base and more light will my photos look as good as others here?

Nice job! Yes, I think it will look better still on a blue base. The contrast will be stronger.
Peter@Michael - your P-51 looks great, excellent paint job so far!

Russell: Looking good. Looking forward to the final reveal!
Carlos: Not sure what looks wrong with your ME-109? Looks great to me!
Bob: Your P-51A looks superb. I have enjoyed the build progress.

Bob, espectacular finish. I love the weathering.
Michael, very neat metallic finish. I don't know how you guys do it, I always can see every seam, scratch and fingerprint in mine. You could always ask for an extension
Rory, I am happy with the paint job. I just meant that it did look weird with a glossy finish.
I am going to call mine done. I really enjoyed my Bf109 G6, Tamiya 1/72. The easiest build for me so far, Tamiya engineering is incredible, and my best result so far. Sure there is room for improvement: a few decals got stuck slightly in the wrong place and didn't conform well, the antenna cable is slightly too think and is missing weathering.
Anyway, here we go:
See you around,
Carlos.

Carlos, your 109 came out great!
As I read your praise of this kit, I maybe should get me one....
