This month I finally found time to work on some models and bring some over the finish line since they were so close. This is one of four, the other three are vehicles. This is my ancient Revell British 71-foot Vospers Motor Torpedo Boat, built strictly out of the box. Yes, I need to add window glass to the bridge windows: I used stretched sprue for the rear cables going to the jackstaff at the back as actual thread wasn't working. This isn't the best; nor a decent contest model; but it is another step in the goal to finish as many motor-type boats as are easily available. Thank you all for looking in.

Love the Vosper, Duke, and they sure are sleek looking fast-movers!

Thank you gentlemen! She does look like she's going fast just sitting still. I'm pretty pleased with the result I got from such an ancient kit.

Didn't the original issue have some really cool box art?

Ian, the box art for this model showed the completed model done by some builder they didn't name. The Airfix 73-foot MBT had some awesome box art of the boat in action.
