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

That Siebel is awesome Iggie Image
Is it one of KP's new-tool releases, or just a new boxing of an older kit?

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 :???:

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 :grin:

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

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 :lol:

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?

Thanks for looking in and the kind words chaps ;-)

@Springy: you are indeed correct Sir; I have now corrected things :-D

The Vosper is done, or at least as done as it's going to be.

Talk about impressive!

You totally captured the look of gun metal and wood!

The weathering and paint chipping is exquisitely done as well.
