#JustForFunScaleModels #JFFLetterB I've made a start on the Thunderbolt, using Eduard's detail set with 3d decals and PE, they make a massive difference.

Can you all add this hashtag to every post #JustForFunScaleModels (bit long winded but necessary) a search of this hashtag will open a separate timeline which will show every post using it. Once the community closes 30th May it will keep us all together . Please RT far and wide

I finished Trumpeter's 1/144 HMS Astuste. It's a big beast, ~70cm long. Reference pics of this boat look fairly dirty so I tried to mess it up a bit rather than an even finish. I think it might need another flat coat though. It could even count as #JFFLetterB as it's a suB.

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

In preparation for this I unboxed it to take a look. The deck area is much bigger than I thought so it's going back in the stash until I get more display space. Instead, I'll do Tamiya's P-47 ThunderBolt RazorBack (w/ BomBs) for #JFFLetterB

#jffletterb does this count? It's by Border, it's of the bridge, and there's probably some bombs and bullets in there somewhere.

My first for #JFFCancerResearch is this racing version of Bandai's N1 starfighter. I made the team logo and found the designs for the sponsors online. I printed them myself onto white backed decal paper.

@traindriverdave Good to know, thank you 👍

It’s International Gannet Appreciation Day! Retweet if you ‘em big & freaky. Let’s get this the 1,000 shares it clearly deserves.

@RedFiveModels @almurray Just been looking into these, they're on v4 now. Is this the one you have?

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

@RedFiveModels @almurray Excellent, thanks.

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

@RedFiveModels @almurray Ah, I meant the Cricut but good to know about the kit. 👍

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

@TheotherBK Yeah, I was doing the usual order of paint then decals and didn't think about the real order they were applied. I should look for references to double check.

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

Finished the Greif. I stuck with the decals although you can't see most of them due to the squiggles. A fun build, mostly went together easily.

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

@TheotherBK I would have thought so too, but the instructions seem to show it the other way around 🤷‍♂️

[MattMakesModels @MattMakesModels]

@ww1pen Thank you 👍 🙂

@OnDisasters The fact that there's no internals to the engines means there's definitely no overcomplicated engineering to wrong here 😂
