You're probably right: better play it on the safe side and just ask permission or revert to drawing when it's refused (or when we can't contact the author).

What shall we start with? A Me 410?

Yeah, let's start, I can try the Me 210/410. Please create a Stencils topic in Wiki and I will post.

Make sure you add [[Category: Aircraft markings]] so that your article will appear in the Aicraft markings category.

You can upload files to the Wiki section through the Upload File link in the Wiki toolbox (bottom of the lefthand bar) http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/spsw...Special:Upload

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm available to answer questions on the wiki itself. I'll be putting together some basic editing guide information soon. But if you have any question, just ask. I'll be pleased to assist with the technical issues so that you guys can focus on the project.

EDIT: Oh I should also mention. If the wiki page might become 'messy' or not really well formatted during construction, there is no worry. During the information collection phase this might happen. But after the information is sorted, then we can look at clean formatting to finish off each page.

However, does copyright apply to a small part of a picture? Anyway, we can always ask for permission and/or simply have a link pointing to the picture in question.

I would say yes it does apply.

However, there is great advantage in having permissions. Most important is establishing a strong confidence in the integrity of the project, and those who are working to build it. A sign of care in details.
