My take on Airfix Higgins Boat.
My take on Airfix Higgins Boat.
I bought this from my local Home Bargains for £2.99. I used Humbrol acrylics with my hairy stick.
Re: My take on Airfix Higgins Boat.
The photo was taken with my ipad, I still cant get used to this modern gadgets. 
Re: My take on Airfix Higgins Boat.
The bottom was painted black according to the painting guide but I like hull red so went with that. I enjoyed this making this model very much, a nice change from my usual armour and aircraft.

That looks very smart indeed!

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

Nice work. I really like the subtle weathering.

Re: My take on Airfix Higgins Boat.
I agree with Dazz the weathering is spot on.
I look forward to seeing your next build

Looks good. It would be great to edit the picture to focus more on the LCVP.
