To be honest, one's a ship, the other is a boat.. My British Navy took delivery of this destroyer HMS Kelly. This is an ancient Matchbox kit built straight out of the box:    My US Navy took delivery of the boat. This is the Airfix Higgins Boat, brand new tooling:    Yes, the Higgins Boat is 1/72 scale... These are two of the six models I finished today. The others can be seen in the Aircraft Forums.

Thank you gentlemen! I'm about to expend my motor boat/torpedo boat line as I found a couple more to start...
Then there's that Italian battleship that should be an interesting voyage...

Duke, the Higgins and your HMS Kelly look excellent! I must say those are sleek looking destroyers.
