Latest Acquisitions (2022)
An unexpected day off work while in Valencia lead me to Maqueta’s Casa Gimenez where I bagged Tamiya’s 1/350 Fletcher class destroyer and a tube of fine polishing paste. Now that business travel is starting to pick up again I hope to get more model shop visits done. If all goes well my next...- rickoshea52

I also had the chance to visit this museum again the following year and saw the bits I missed first time around. Apologies for any duplicates.- rickoshea52

I’m building this for a GB at my local club. This will be the first ICM kit to find its way to my work bench and it looks very nice. There two of these sprues. I’m going to have a go at this winter scheme of an aircraft from 15(Kroat)/KG53. White camo will be a first for me Aftermarket will...- rickoshea52

Aviation art - prints
I couldn’t find a place for aviation art on the forum so here seems as good as any. I stumbled across some work by an artist when I was recently on holiday near Lossiemouth. Most of his work are landscapes but he does aviation subjects too - he’s an ex-Nimrod pilot - and sells his works as...- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/35 Italeri Land Rover LWB 109" FFR, British Army
This is the first kit I bought from John…sometime around 2011 or 2013 which I finished during lockdown last year. I enjoyed building it but it has a lot of errors for this particular version, lots of bits appropriate for civvy wagons rather than British military ones. This scale is not usually...- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/72 KP models Mil-8 Hip East German Air Force
What a dog of a kit! I was fortunate to first see one of these up close at Saigon airport many years ago and then in museums in Riga & Tallinn so the seed was sown to build one at some point. One eBay purchase later at this was added to the stash (because I looked in the box and decided it...- rickoshea52

Rick’s completed 1/72 Airfix Phantom FG1, 43 Sqn Royal Air Force Leuchars
All done. Built mostly out of the box with Eduard cockpit and mask set used. Very nice kit but it needed a bit of shimming between the wings and lower fuselage but not much other filling needed. There is lots of scope for more added detail, in a future build I’ll have a go at added resin bits.- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Phantom FG1, 43 Sqn Royal Air Force - almost complete
Nearly done with this one. An out of the box build with just paint masks as extra. I was going to go to town with more AM but in the end opted for an OOB to see how the kit went together, I found some fit problems with the wing to lower fuselage join and needed to shim with plasticard - just...- rickoshea52

Rick’s 1/72 Harrier hide - Harrier GR3, 4 Sqn Royal Air Force Germany.
I finished this last year. This was made using the Airfix Harrier and Bedford MK refueller, the Unimog is a repurposed Wiking model. The clutter was from various spares and railway extras. I decided not to do any camouflage netting so the scene am be viewed better. Extras for the Harrier include...- rickoshea52
