I like that a lot. Looks very smart in Swedish kit.

Re: iggie's modelling table
Thanks all!
It appears to be a new tool; it says so on the box anyway but not having seen any previous rolling of this subject I can't be certain. I recall reading the the new K P is not the same as the old one..... apparently
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
"Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow"

Re: iggie's modelling table
Next up on the table is the relatively old Revell British MTB in 1/72. There don't seem to be many parts and several are loose in the box so hopefully they are all there
The box
I drilled out the lightening holes; upper tube before, lower is after
I have decided to model a boat at the start of the war, whose commanding officer hated the thought of painting over all the wood planking . A coat of Humbrol leather with a top coat of Revell Wood now applied
Some cut down bombs make torpedo heads
The decks have had a coat of clear orange and the steel areas some dark grey

Re: iggie's modelling table
Further progress:
I had a vague memory of buying an Eduard PE set for this build, and sure enough I eventually found it! I'm not going to use all of it as some of the parts are stupidly small, or won't really make a huge difference. That's my story anyway

Re: iggie's modelling table
Looking good Iggie. I have got one of these l kits somewhere with the photo etch set. It is on my list of kits to do when I get around to it so I will be following your build for some tips. Good luck mate.
Cheers

Hey Iggie
I've got the Airfix RAF Rescue Launch in the stash. This has inspired me to dig it out.
BTW It looks like the main wheels on the Martinet need finishing off?

Re: iggie's modelling table
Thanks for looking in and the kind words chaps
@Springy: you are indeed correct Sir; I have now corrected things
The Vosper is done, or at least as done as it's going to be.
I've taken a few liberties with the scheme although this in a small part is based on a little research which shows that not

Re: iggie's modelling table
Talk about impressive!
You totally captured the look of gun metal and wood!
The weathering and paint chipping is exquisitely done as well.
