Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat
My first major problem with this kit; a wonky duct. A bit of dry fitting shows I might get away with just cutting this off, the exhaust flap that covers it can be posed open or closed.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat
This is the scheme I’ll use. I was hoping I’d get some tips from @BarryW in his build but it didn’t work out for him. I got the etched seatbelts but might just use the kit parts instead.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
Going back a step to the main rotors, these have a couple of decals on each side. I pinched the marking out sketch from the Airfix Model World magazine build article. These lines are used to align the blade lifting sling at the centre of balance of the blades during removal and installation...- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
Just about done. A touch of silver for the pilots mirrors, some thread for the HF aerial and personnel door restraint. I’m contemplating adding a hold open strut for the upper personnel door and a grab handle on the cabin door frame,- rickoshea52

Most of the weathering and lots of small details added including the tail fold warning flag.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
Doing some of the smaller details. The High intensity strobe light needs a bit of sanding down of the sprue gate, I stuck it to a blob of Blu Tak while I did this to keep it in position and from pinging across the room. The tail fold joint is well detailed but one thing missing is the unlock...- rickoshea52

What did you fly in today?
My first trip in an A380, ever. After 18 years working for the company that built the main gears for this jet I finally get to see what all the fuss is about.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
I’ve got all the basic airframe painted in Tamira XF-83 Medium Sea Grey. The next step will be painting some of the smaller bits, aerials, tyres, exhausts etc before a coat of varnish. But before I can make that progress I will be taking a break from the bench due to travel commitments. I’ll be...- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
We’ve made it to the paint shop. Before the grey I applied black over the cockpit framing first so that any glimpse through the glazing won’t show the grey fuselage colour. But I have mislaid my other jar of Tamiya XF-83.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5
I have a mystery to figure out, what is this round fitting under the lower personnel door? I don’t recall seeing this on the HAR3’s I worked on and all references I can find suggest it was plated over on later marks of Sea King. Not a big deal but there is no reference in the instructions and...- rickoshea52
