By way of a change, this was my most recent selection from the stash; I've always looked at it, and then the Airfix version and thought 'well, the Revell won't be up to much'
To be fair, it's a very nice kit that goes together well and looks the part overall. It has faults, which I'll eave to others more handy at rivet counting than I (although the mahoosive machine guns do look a bit rubbish ) but nothing that makes it look silly in my book.
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 all MTBs had two-tone grey hulls etc.. I also decided that she was an early war example, whose captain didn't want to cover the deck planking in Admiralty Grey, hence the wooden deck
