This month has been a month of completing a couple of shelf queens, with possibly more on the way. This has been under construction for more than five years.

The Maddog Manufacturing Shipyards has launched this RAF Rescue Launch for shakedown cruise and delivery to my British Navy:

That is the ancient Airfix original issue of that kit in 1/72 scale. It took some doing, and some parts are still missing but for a started kit that I got in our Distressed Kit Auction, it looks pretty good to me.

Thanks for looking in.

I'm hoping that is the first of a full line up of 1/72 scale motor boats from every nation that a kit has been released for.

If I can build 800+ tanks and vehicles in 1/72 scale, then I think I can meet that challenge! LOL! Thank you Marco! I agree. I'm very happy with this model.

The decals really make the finish pop-off. Love it!
