Shar2 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Finished just before the last show at the Tank Museum, Bovington. Modified slightly to change it from MTB 77 to MTB 242 hence the colour scheme, which is more of an homage to the boat that Lt Claude Holloway commanded in the Adriatic. I used the Griffon etch set for the whole boat as per the kit along with a CMK 20mm Oerlikon for the bow. Not brilliant photos as I'm not feeling too well, no not Corvid 19, but a stinking cold, oh, and one of my studio lights blew, so only had one for the shoot. The last picture is of her at the show with the Italian MAS 500, also from Italeri Edited March 18, 2020 by Shar2 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Excellent work Dave, the sharp detailing and camouflage are brilliant. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Eazy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 @Shar2 I like it, I'm impressed with how realist the ropes look. Your photos are very good, looks fine to me even if you got a bit of a common cold and shaking the camera a little bit, but it looks good enough to me.

Tony Whittingham Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I do like this. I’ve got a Vosper in the queue, but I’ve never seen this scheme before. Where did you find it? Very nice indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Nice work Dave, I've not seen one of these kits built up before. Great work on an interesting camouflage scheme! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Lovely finish and paint job. I've an Airfix 1/72 MTB but there is only one camouflage scheme suitable for the type number/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 @Tony Whittingham I found the scheme in Coastal Forces book on Vospers. Many thanks for the nice replies. Sorry, no, I didn't do a WiP but will do on my next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Didn't see this before now. Excellent job there Dave and the photos are pretty good too! I must have missed this one at the Bovington show. That looks like a type 41 Leopard class in the background. Would that be the Atlantic models Job? Hard to judge scale in this pic. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks Terry. We were behind the Panther. Yes it is Atlantic models HMS Leopard as reviewed here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Well I must have had my eyes closed as we were right behind the A13 and to one side of the Char B! Sounds like you were in the adjacent area. I have the Atlantic Leopard, lovely kit. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
