    I tried posting a photo on one of my threads earlier. At first I got the file too big message but a second attempt was successful. This is the screenshot of that photo with the file size if it’s useful John

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HC4 Gulf War

    I have been building stuff. Out of the box with etched seat belts. Not as detailed as the HAS5 I did a few years ago but a bit more weathering this time. Still waiting for the HAR3 version to be released, fingers crossed for the 14th Jan. Apologies for the lousy photos. Come and see it at IPMS...

    Rick’s Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4, Operation Banner, RAF Aldergrove, Northern Ireland

    Marking out for aerial attachments and floor fixtures. I have to be careful here as there are slightly different defensive aids fitted to NI cabs compared to the ones in the kit instructions; some might need scratch making. The troop seat layout needs a bit of adjustment. Airfix didn’t include...

    Rick’s Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4, Operation Banner, RAF Aldergrove, Northern Ireland

    This kit is jumping the queue for my club swap shop GB. I’ve been wanting to do a Northern Ireland based SK for a while and it was toss up between doing this or a Phantom. Since I drew this for the GB I’m kinda obliged to build it now. I won’t bother with sprue shots, just the box lid and...

    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Phantom FGR2 - in the hangar.

    This is my next build but definitely not an out of the box construction. The kit. This has the parts for an FGR2. The extra sprue for this version. The aftermarket. Etched brass and paint mask from Eduard but some of the ejection seat stuff might not get used. The resin is a mix of Aires...

    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Chinook HC1 - Bravo November - a dream sheet build

    Masking off. Just adding the delicate bits that are easily knocked off…like the wheels! Both of the rotor head are done and ready to fit. I still have the HF aerial masts and pitots to fit. The ramp is done and ready to install including some plastic rod to mimic the ramp actuator pistons.
