    Rick’s 1/48 ICM Dornier Do17z-2

    Decals revealed and a pin wash applied for the panel lines. Tonight I did a bit of work on the exhaust staining using weathering powders. Trying to find reference photos of how this style of exhaust deposited staining was difficult so I just went with what looked right. Not forgetting the...

    Rick's completed 1/72 Airfix Lancaster BIII (special) 617 Sqn - Dambusters

    I finished this a long time ago and forgot that I hadn’t posted the results on here before despite starting a build thread. This model was donated to my daughter’s former school and hangs proudly from the ceiling of Lancaster class.

    Liquid Masking & Glue For Clear Parts Question

    Maskol from Humbrol or equivalent from the likes of mig. For glazing on a periscope lens the edge might be a harder straight line so perhaps masking tape instead. For clear canopies I use Deluxe Material glue n glaze but there are many different products, even plain ordinary PVA glue.

    My first kit: Italeri UH-1D Iroquois - 1:48

    Helicopters and just about every aircraft are made of aluminium, light alloy or composite material and as Jakko says, no rust. Aluminium does oxidize (corrode) and is evident by white powdery deposits. Steel parts on aircraft have their uses, nuts, bolts as well as landing gear structural parts...

    Rick’s deconstructed 1/72 Airfix EE Lightning

    I haven’t seen them from Tamiya. Sometimes you see Airfix kits on Etsy for over £100 just for a 1/72 Spitfire starter set.

    Maskol off and the chipping effect scrubbed off.

    Rick’s 1/48 ICM Dornier Do17z-2

    White camouflage applied over AV chipping solution and maskol covered decals. I tried free hand for the upper/lower demarcation lines - let’s see how that works out later.

    Hasegawa 1/72 F-14a Tomcat

    That’s a nice kit but of its age. I built one years ago and enjoyed it. https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/ricks-hasegawa-1-72-f-14a-tomcat-sundowners.21482/#post-246045

    Sprue goo?

    Chopped up sprue dissolved in Humbrol liquid poly can be useful too. I’ve used it to create a rotor brake handle round nob and for a tail rotor fairin, also for filling larger gaps. As it’s home made you can make it as thick as you like. Some other great tips her though.

    Airfix 1/72nd Westland Sea King HC.4

    Ditto. Even my MIG Ammo acrylics are about to be relegated. Too many times I’ve have paint peel off with them, never with Tamiya though.

    Rick’s 1/24 Airfix Hellcat

    Engine assembly and painting has progressed. The MIG Ammo paint I used is so fragile and needs touching up here and there.

    Rick’s 1/48 ICM Dornier Do17z-2

    Speckles on! The airframe stencils still need doing though. I used the kit decals, they took a while to lift from the paper. The swastika came from a generic sheet of varying styles for different aircraft.

    Rick's quiz paper

    This is the quiz I set for my local club at Christmas. Have a go if you want. No prizes, just for fun and no cheating! Google's for noodles! 1. Where in a house or building would you find an escutcheon? 2. Between which two countries is the Gulf of Bothnia? 3. In which British city has...
