#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; It's been a while, some struts repaired/ replaced with brass rod, cold junction on moulding, and didn't break until after painting😭😭 Its going in one of the B17 dioramas. I've included a 📷of it landing at #Benbecula circa 1942

#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; Was.being lazy and used the kit serial number, on reviewing another photo, discovered the correct serial X7372. Nothing for but a correction courtesy of Ventura decal sheet V7253😄😄

#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; Nearly there. Gloss coat the a coat of #tamiya XF86 Flat clear. Unmasked, and surprisingly, the clear parts only required a rub with a cotton bud even though the masks have been on for about 2 months. That's a win🏆 😄😄 weathering next.

Sunset from the bench🌅

#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; Calling this one Complete. Some light weathering added, and the props and spinners chipped. Happy enough, just the diorama to do along with the two #B17s

#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; Cut some old flooring as a base and first coat of filler on the edges. As promised to Adam Watkinson, I've included these IWM photos. Just ordered some decent figures from 3Djson on easy for this and the #B17 dioramas

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Baseboard cut for dioramas trying to recreate the photos of #Benbecula B17s. Awaiting decent figures. The B17 are going to different homes but will be able to be displayed together with the #DH98🤞

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Figures (Lancaster bomb load) arrived from #3DJSON. I am in absolute awe with the quality of the printing🤩🤩 Very good value at about £16 Inc postage. Check out his figures they look incredible.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Baseboards underway, aircraft placed on for scale. Figures have initial base coat of paint. Hopefully, I will get over the line by next weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together 😀😀

#JFFBooks #DH89 #DragonRapide update; Complete. 😀😀😀 A couple of the 3DJason figures added for scale. Base will be able to be displayed stand alone or with the 2 #B17 bases. Keep an eye out for an update very soon 👀👀

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Started on the rearming diorama on the 220 squadron #B17 again some 3DJason figures. All 3 base boards can be displayed together 450mm x 1100mm or seperate. Nearly there😀😀😀

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Complete. 220 Squadron #B17 #Fortress bombing up with depth charges at #Benbecula I'm pretty happy with the overall result. Now to finish the 206 squadron #B17

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Another attempted photo recreation

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; Complete. The picture was painted by a local art teacher, Alistair Moffat. He kindly donated the IWM Photos to me on hearing my plans. Also, why I removed the ball turretand made Yagi antenna.😀😀😀😀

#JFFBooks #B17 Fortress II/IIA #Acedemy #Hasegawa 1/72 #CoastalCommand update; All three dioramas together. May still add a vehicle to the 206 Squadron diorama, maybe a bicycle or motorbike.

Workbench update; Back in May Horace Lautrovsky spotted a box under my workbench. I did a reveal of the contents but left him hanging by revealing I had another box. Not much modelling done this week so it's time for a show.

#JFFBooks Just started looking for a bit of inspiration for the next build. Need to do something with tracks or wheels before the next Aircraft

Check this out. I love it when a photo gets recreated in miniature, especially with this level of precision 🤩🤩🤩
