dnl42 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'm thinking a 1/72 DAVID (Confederate torpedo boat) or a 1/144 LCAC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look the same to me though, especially when submerged 😆 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I guess I need to commit to what I am building here:- I think I am going to build an example to the highest scoring Fleet Air Arm fighter of WWII. 803 NAS Fairey Fulmar MkI N1951/6A flown by Cdr JM Bruen (well the Aces High GB didn't make it, so I'll fold it in here) (1/48 Special Hobby). I might also attempt (am I getting too ambitious) Cdr Bruens Sea Hurricane IIb JS355 from Operation Torch if I can get some Hurricane input from @Troy Smith on the improvements to the Has IIb kit (I'll be inserting the lower rear fuselage section of the Airfix Sea Hurricane). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do SS Politician (of Whisky Galore fame) sometime in the future so may just possibly steal borrow some ideas. That looks a mighty fine ship.

TonyOD Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 The Fulmar, @Grey Beema?! Well I never! That’s a fine looking ship, @PAUL67! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This is a bit difficult for me to classify. Should it go into Salty Sea Dog or Not My Comfort Zone???? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That's a pirate ship from either Ebay or Amazon, my hearties! That will make you uncomfortable in the build for sure. However, please attempt it in the SSD because I just can't wait to see it explode into cheap Chinese splinters! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't as flexible as I would have hoped. Maybe I could replace them with some very thin balsa strips. And if it all turns to worms and the planks all break, at least I can finish it in the Entropy GB. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 To be serious for a moment @Enzo the Magnificent, on June 24th on the beagle thread linked below I looked into, I think, the same boat model. I believe I tracked down with some help from the guys on Model Ship World, the Mamoli kit that it was illegally scanned from. That's on page three if the link won't take you to the comment directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we looking for examples that are specifically operating in a maritime environment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
