robgizlu Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) I finished this a few years back using the Airfix kit and augmenting weapons with Coastal Craft offerings. I came across Kev's (Longshanks) build during the build which was an added inspiration. I should have replaced the stern steps with wire and shusshhhh - don't tell anyone but the mast is in the wrong place ......... (You live and learn) Thanks for looking Rob Edited November 21, 2017 by robgizlu "Vosper" 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Wonderfully well done Rob, you've made a beautiful job of this. I've an ambition to do something similar one of these days years, albeit to a lesser standard than this one. Have you made any progress on your 63' BPB MGB? That's another I'm keen to do down the track too. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 really great modelling - I don't suppose for a moment that Airfix had any idea how popular this kit would end up becoming - a real classic made to look so very real 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo217 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Vosper type 1 number 380 was my grandads torpedo boat, Henry Douglass Kieth Scott (Leutenant Commander) before this he was on HMS Fiji when it sank. Cool to see someone made a model of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Theo - that is fascinating. I don't suppose that you have any of Grandad's pics of the boat? They'd be great to see if there are some. Did he have any particular stories about her? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Very nice build Rob. This has spurred me on to get back to the Vosper I recently started, just need to get several aircraft projects done and dusted! Great bit of history there @Theo217 helps bring excellent builds like this alive. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
