Rick’s completed 1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 7/1 8 ton Halftrack w/20mm Flakvierling
Just off the bench. Nice kit and a new experience and challenge for me. Built out of the box using Tamiya paint and Mig weathering products. There is so much more I could do with this; figures, equipment etc but I achieved what I wanted going this far, i.e a winter wash; kind of a test run for...- rickoshea52

A trip to Liverpool and I dropped in to Forbidden Planet and found this. But can you believe that Liverpool does not have a dedicated model shop?- rickoshea52

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
A little detour on my way back from Solihull today via Widnes Model Centre and had to add these. I didn’t want to pay £55-ish for a 1/48 Il-28 so when I peeked inside the box of the 1/100 version it is surprisingly big(ish). The Tamiya F4U Corsair falls into my “Rite of Passage” must build kit...- rickoshea52

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
Got home this morning with these waiting for me. I was interested to read comments from @BarryW about the landing gear on his Mig-31 build. A search for an alternative to the kit parts for my Mig-25 led me to these replacements from Reskit. My list of Sea King variants/paint schemes to try...- rickoshea52

We're off. RAF Sea King HAR
Don’t forget the green tinted windows above the pilots. I used Tamiya clear green on the inside so you get the shiny clear finish on the outside. A tip for the landing gear - there is a circular recess the leg sits in and pivots on (called trunnions on the real thing). Leave the gears off until...- rickoshea52

What did you fly in today?
My first long haul flight of the year and I have to endure a 7.5 hour flight in this bird today, I’ve spent the same amount of time waiting for it because of a delay. Ah well, the biz class seat will make up for that.- rickoshea52

Just delivered. An eBay purchase prompted by a binge watching session of The Mandalorian. It turns out that the seller is an old friend from a previous model club I used to attend, what are the chances?- rickoshea52

Latest Acquisitions (2022)
Just in from Hannants. The mask set is for a stalled build and the decals because I liked the Sea King markings. I wanted to do the 1/24 Hellcat as a winter project but I’ve had to delay starting again, installing underfloor insulation in the living room jumped the build queue.- rickoshea52

Sources of inspiration (or just a lame excuse to buy another kit)
Quite often I get inspired to add a new project to my ever growing dream sheet for building stuff (AKA the stash). This week the inspiration fairy fired two ideas at me. My job has me travelling extensively and often see something that pricks my curiosity and gets me searching Scalemates for a...- rickoshea52

My meagre Telford haul. The MRP paint is for my 1/24 Hellcat winter project. I’ve never used it before so I’m interested to see if the hype lives up to the results.- rickoshea52

Built out of the box using a Pontos deck kit, Tamiya paints and MIG weathering. This is another of my “Rites of Passage” kits, one of those kits...- rickoshea52
