    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5

    And my progress so far. The IP and console are super detailed and include the tail wheel lock and parking brake handles. The broom cupboard aft of the cockpit is also detailed including the relief (pee) tube. I haven’t glued the seats onto the deck yet, I’m using the locating holes as a jig...

    Rick’s 1/48 Airfix Sea King HAS5

    And why am I convinced there will be a HAR3/3A & HC4? The HAR3/3A is the RAF yellow variant.

A blanking plate is provided for...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    Two kits from Rubicon Models both in 1/56 scale. I’ve always wanted to do a Vietnam War Huey. The RAF Rescue launch is a trip down memory lane from the time I used to build with my dad. And finally, following a tip from a fellow club member I’m going to try this stuff.

    Morayvia

    I spent an hour or so at Morayvia at Kinloss barracks today, well worth a visit but check their opening times online. I was surprised to see a Royal Navy Phantom on site.

    What's on the Bench 2023

    Lights all connected and still working, not bad for a club fisted rigger.

    Rick's Tamiya 1/48 T-55 Russian medium tank

    Just finished this. Out of the box using Tamiya paints and Mig weathering powders. It’s a very easy kit to build with just one decal option.

    What flew over your house (yesterday)

    Wandering round a garden centre today I looked up to see a Fairey Swordfish above. Later I watched a Poseidon MRA1 fly low and fast, 500ft, 250kts along the Liverpool waterfront.

    From my visit to IPMS Lancs swap meet. It is actually quite good little event, lots of bargains. The NH90 is for me while the Swift is my daughters purchase - she’s a massive Taylor swift fan.
