I recall that name too. Riko started the import of Tamiya to the UK I think...
Did you buy it in a Beaties store by any chance Karl.

I take it Riko is long gone? I recognise the name as the UK Tamiya importer, but I don’t know much more than that :smiling3:

And Acoms RC gear, up until the mid 90's (IIRC)

No, a small model shop in Redhill. I actually bought very little in Beatties but was in the Romford one a fair bit for a nosey.

Riko used to do model railway products, kits & scenic scatter. Haven't seen their stuff in years.

I have just received my hot shots decals.

Just wondering, but does the kit you have include the shorter canopy, or only the long one?

I haven't studied in detail yet but looking at a YouTube clip of the landing scene they have the longer canopy.

Oi! I was going to use that quote during the paint (can’t call it a build, he’s only made from four parts). Never mind, there are plenty of others…..

Some of the other gladiators were in 4 parts as well!!, Great movie one of my favourites..

Ah, I didn’t remember that bit, I do recall seeing short-canopied ones, which is what’s in my 1:72 scale kit. Handy that either will do

Complete with swooshing "Cylon eye"?
(But that's a diecast car, will you be repainting it or something?)
