@Rheumatoidman Thank you sir

#JustForFunScaleModels
1/48 Monogram F-105G Wild Weasel. She was too long to fit on any of my available shelves, so I had to hang it. Yes I'm running out of room, shelves and ceiling 😁

@nix17_nix @CowboyShepherd2 This was a Revell kit and went together with no major issues. I'd recommend it.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

1/48 A6 Intruder with markings from the movie. I tried to replicate an Iron Hand operative as best I could. I closed canopy eith ideas to hang iy. Now set her up with the Vietnam Warriors.

@Airfix Research, developing the subject, the initial buildup. Decals least favorite, everything else is good.

1/32 Bf109 Trop version. Very nice kit. Just testing the new hash tag, make sure I'm connected, this community is the only reason I'm on X. Currently working on 1/48 A6e. Thank you Simon and Weldboy for keeping us together.

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

@RevellUSA 1/72 B-17 of the Memphis Belle, I still have the box art framed and hanging on my wall.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

Revell 1/32 P-38 Lightning. Wasn't the best kit, but its among the old ones I found in the stash, lots of flash, not much detail and decals were very delicate to deal with and some just disintegrated. But it's done. Moving on to next project, whatever that is.

@Airfix Research and then retelling the story using the models.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@AntonyRowntree Is there a specific adhesive you use on your resin figures?

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@ChrisDo80078864 Looking forward to seeing it.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@WitlessGas Thank you, it was a fun build.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@Rheumatoidman Vintage Matchbox 1/32 SBD Dauntless. It's straight out of the box. I did some interior detailing out of spare parts box, but you can't see it. Figures are kit. No assembly issues, went together quite nicely.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@WeldBoy13 In hot pursuit.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@Rheumatoidman Thank you sir.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@Rheumatoidman This is a old Matchbox kit of a 1/32 SBD Dauntless that I found hidden away. I added some cockpit detail, but once figures were installed you can't see it. I've seen poor reviews on this kit, but actually went together fairly easily. More pics to come.

[Jim Smoke Marlatt @gpasmoke]

@Airfix Rattle can the primer, airbrush overall, then hand paint the details. Hand paint the figures.
Rattle can the gloss/matt varnish.
