Rick's 1/35 scale model's
United States
Приєднався 21 вер 2011
I mainly build modern German Bundeswehr 1/35 scale models recreating a large mixed fighting force of armor, mechanised infantry, artillery, engineering, medical and supplies. I am also starting to build post World War 2 German military equipment to include East and West Germany.
I'm not affiliated with any business or company. I have been building models since the early 70's. I do this channel to show my work and learn from others. I do it for enjoyment. I welcome all ideas and input.
I have a facebook page called Rick's 1/35 Scale Model's
I can be emailed at ricksscalemodels@yahoo.com

Nicely done, Rick! I like these specialty kind of vehicles! I've got nothing against tanks and APCs. It's just good to see more of the behind the scenes kind of stuff!
I agree. Everyone loves the fighting vehicles but there are lots more logistics type vehicles.
Good looking build. Simple, but detailed unimog ❤
Yes. I liked the accuracy of scale.
Very in-depth thankyou
Thank you. It's a nice kit.
Great video and build, Rick! Keep up the good work.
Thank you. it's a fun truck.
Nice build video Rick :) Looks good buddy. Keep on the good work and model on my friend
Thank you, Ozzy.
Great video and build. This seems to be a nice kit. 👍I was in a radio platoon (1st battery of a rocket artillery bataillon) during my military service in 1986/87 and we had such a radio truck. The vehicle was called "Funkkoffer". Our truck was painted in NATO olive green. The three colour camouflage wasn't so common at that time.
Yes it's a nice little build with lots of parts. I saw in my research that a lot were still on service with some still in green and others repainted.
Great review and build, Rick. Many thanks. It is a great kit to build. I built the earlier version and it went together very well. The ICM youtube page gives the assembly sequence which removed any doubt. A very enjoyable kit to build
Thank you. I'm looking forward to the leopard 2a6 by icm.
Hi, can i use the finishing 1500 black after surfacer 1000?, both are spray cans version. that would make it the primer 2 coats.
Yes. Should not make a difference but the black can darken the overall look.
@@Ricks135scalemodels ok..thanks for advise.
@razif6916 no problem, the primer color can really be used to accent your paint.
@@Ricks135scalemodels isee..thnks..will play around then with it.
i like your own camo netting better than the ak product your stuff looks really cool greetings from the netherlands
Thank you. It rakes time but it's nice
Have you seem the Amusing Hobby Leopard 2A8 yet ?? I Just saw a review and IT Looks awesome !!!
Yes. I actually have it. I have not built it yet.
Nice, but from the Reviews I saw there's a Resin piece in the Kit packed in a little zip-loc BAG that IS broken almost Always ! If IT happened to you too, let me know how IT goes with getting a replacement from Amusing Hobby 😁😁
@stephenashley8431 my basket was also broke. Amusing Hobby reference me to the seller who eventually sent me a replacement that also broke. But, I 3d designed an exact match that I printed.
Ok, thanks For the Info ! I'll leaved IT alone Till they fix the Problem !!!
Can't wait to see how this would look in production. Maybe you can buy a second one and try to make one with a lot of things added on it to make it look like it's in production
That's not a bad idea. I just buy a 2nd kit also.
@@Ricks135scalemodels Yeah, this one is kind of expensive as well
@Maxalhw sad but all models are getting expensive
@@Ricks135scalemodels Yeah... Some 1/72 meng ones are great price at least here tho
@Maxalhw 72nd is just to small for me..
So like, is the gun not movable?
It is Movable. Im sorry for the late response.
Hey Rick, i have a question. I can see in the background already made leopard tank, with net ane leaves camouflage, can you tell me what do you used to gain that effect?
I use ak netting type 1 that I paint olive drab on one side and russian green on the other. The use HO trains scale bushes for the foliage. I really don't like most live foliage products and I prefer just using thine strips of paper painted and crumpled up to look like the steps of canvas they hange.
'Rick'!!!! Thanks a Lot!! I think you know that I'm building my Leopard 2 AVLB, though I have NOT painted it in NATO colors yet...because I was buying ( and Still WAITING ) for my putty-mask to arrive. Point-being...seeing you and another fella just "free-hand" paint the camo, Not worrying about over-spray of different colors ( brown and black ) kinda makes me wonder.... "Shoot, why am I waiting for...just Paint da Darn TANK!!" Showing how you get close-in to the model also helps with the lower setting of the airbrush!!! Although, I have not painted the tank yet, I did paint the bridge portion.....but in Possible UKR color camo...there I HAD to use masks for the "digital camo" that they are using for the Bradleys ( not sure of their Leo2 and Abrams )...maybe you can give me a little hind-sight of Their camo patterns...is Ukraine keeping the NATO color...OR...their own colors?? Again, Thanks for the posting......off to do some painting!!!!
Ha.. I lovevpainting with airbrush. It's just finding the sweat spot of right dilution and psi.. on the Ukrainian stuff. From what I've seen, they have several colors. I was told although I can not verify that if it arrived in nato camo.. it stayed that but they did get vehicles that looked like a Russian green color and I heard that some stuff arrived in desert and they're painted in the digital. I'm getting ready to do a Ukrainian leo 2 and I just finished my leo 2 avlb, iguana, that I made all the upgrades for it to be the I service version.
@@Ricks135scalemodels Cool Beans!!! Will you be showing a video on That AVLB??
@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P yes.. hopefully in a week.
What are some good reference books for modern German vehicles?
I have a pile of tankograd books. I feel they are one of the best.
Thank you sir. I will look those up to try to find them.
Thanks for the great video! I destroyed 15 fixed pins before I found this video. I finally glued the pins together.
Ya . I had a heck of a time
Any ideas where could get replacement parts from for thus kit?
I've never tried with this company. What parts are you talking about? Where did you get it?
I'm after a replacement bonnet as mine was mis-moulded, and had bought mine online but there unable to get replacements 😕
@JCBricksAndBuilds I'll be home on an hour and looks in my kit I havnt built yet. I think I saw an email. Are you in UK?
Yes I'm in the UK, I did use the email that was on the box but unfortunately I've not had any reply 😕
@JCBricksAndBuilds that doesn't surprise me.. I might be able to make one in resin. I habe a buddy in Scotland who can print it if I can make one.
Very informative and helpful. Thank you.
Thank you
Beautiful tank and build love the colour 👍
I would love to see some of these older BW kits redone in their " new " grey plastic. I have always found the dark green stuff to be relatively brittle.
It's horible plastic
Which glue do you use for gluing metal parts?
I use CA (Krazy) glue liquid and a paste thick type. I usually do a boiling water quick rinsevto remove any think on the PE sheet if it needs it.
@@Ricks135scalemodels Thanks! Im new to modeling, and are using white glue, for metals, but need another method because that's a pain in the butt to work with 😅
Mengs built in anti slip is way too subtle to be noticeable compared to how coarse the real thing is. Adding the Mig anti-slip really made it pop. Your finished kit looks outstanding!
Thank you. Ya. It's just not enough.
I really like the blanket
Thank you!!
Great vid. Was trying to decide between this and the border version. Might have to just get both 😅
Both a great. Border is a fun build. Rfm is outstanding quality
Well done. Your videos are always entertaining and informative
Thank you
Nice one Rick! 👍🇳🇿
Thank you
I think the same thing as you do in regards to the container carrier. There are everywhere in the field and a carrier would be great to have.
Very much a part of the modern military
Great video Rick. Don't know how I missed this one. Working on a Marder at the moment so very helpful
Nice. I'm getting ready to do a resin conversion kit for the tamiya marder to make it a 1a5 with all the new upgrades. I forget the correct resignation
Congratulations Rick on the 3k subscribers. Very well deserved
Thank yoh
Hi Rick, where can I purchase wheel painting jig?
I found them at MBK out of Germany but I've seen them on ebay also. I'll look for them and let you know
@@Ricks135scalemodels Thanks.Rick.
would never have thought of using cheesecloth. Thanks for the video.
Ya.. I've learned using several materials and layering
Hey Rick well done
Thank you
Lovely kits, and you've done them proud, but WHEN are Revell gonna do something about their boxing..???.😟.My kit got crushed in storage with some finer bits suffering as aconsequence. 😢
its seams never on the box.
Very nice indeed sir. Going to try a digitized NATO 3-tone on mine, when I get around to it😊
That should look sharp
Im surprised no mainstream companies have produced this type of equipment in styrene. Cant justify the cost of resin kits on my modelling budget unfortunately 😕
Yes and the resin is a little challenging to use.
Interesting results Rick. Looks like they 've been scaled for 1/35 . I also like the results with a good old fashioned hairy stick.
Yes.. itsva nice product
Hi Rick I have recently built this RFM 2A6 and I'm pleased to say the article has been published in the latest Airfix Model World Magazine. This review was very helpful, thank you👍
Thank you
I love a good Leopard!
I love that you do your thing. As a previous Rc airplane guy i decided to go Armor when entering this hobby because ive been focusing about planes before and wanted to do something different. i dived into the british stuff mostly.
Nice.
your tanks looks amazing. Its such a great time to entering the hobby with all these helpful videos.
Wow! What a collection! I am impressed.
Thank you.. a work in progress
Excellent work and beautiful tank, decided to buy a Hobby Boss Leopard 2a6 and camo netting.
Sounds like a fun project!!
Huge congrats on reaching 3k Rick! Lot's of great stuff are lined up for us! Great to see your grandson filming you, i had no Idea! Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!
Thank you George! I'm THAT old!!
@@Ricks135scalemodels Hahaha, maybe old but still relevant!
@ThatMofoDamon thank you my friend!!
That kit looks really nice. ive got a RFM firefly to build next and im impressed with all the details. Only built 5 kits since i started in the hobby a year ago and i have yet to paint a 3 tone camo 😅 But the Leopard looks so good.
If you really enjoy the Hobby, get a good air brush. It really makes painting better.. especially doing the camo. It's a big purchase but will last you a lifetime as long as you keep it clean.
@@Ricks135scalemodels Thank you. Yeah i bought a H&S airbrush and its a major stepup from brushes.
@@felippejonsson6078 outstanding. I love using my airbrush.
Congrats and well done 🍻
Congrats on the 3k subs!
Well done, I've watched several of your posts a few times. Look fwd to seeing your future ones.
Tom, congradulations. you won!!!.. email me and we will work out the details so I can get you your model!!
Not a hack. If that was you on FB. You were really the winner.
Oh, 'Rick'..... I see that Leo2 AVLB and it takes me back to when I have been building mine when I started!!! If You want, I just Want to show you my build....unfort. I kinda started building my tank as the "proto-type" unknowing Your Channel doing modern German armor. Then when I started seeing your Channel, I have been "scratch-building" many of the parts that need a "more modern upgrade". But, I leave you with My build of the Leopard 2 AVLB.... I hope you like the latest interation of this kit I have built. ua-cam.com/video/PqbMdET8Rgc/v-deo.html
Congratulations on the 3k. Well deserved. Your video on the RFM tank tracks and antenna tips went right into my build of the RFM Leopard 2A6.
Outstanding.. glad I could help
