Hi all
Now I have been successfully accepted, I will post a few photos of my model.
You can also see how the build progressed by goin to my website: www.hslmouldings.co.uk

My next build will a fishing boat hull around the 60ft length that would have been requisitioned for war use. Any help on this would be most helpful

Nice paint job on an unusual subject. This ship seems to be a popular model for KFKs. I have seen many variations of armament and paint schemes on other models of this type.

Thank you for your kind comments.

ye I agree that its a popular model to build, I guess it because of the Graupner Elke fishing boat model, which is a fishing boat that can be armed up with Tamiya products. I went for 24th scale as it matches my fitting and figures I produce and seel through my website.

As for the paint work, all colours ar correct and shades are for the Norweigen waters area with a little licence and the disrupter patern.

it looks good no bad comments yet as many dont know what it is!

I aim to build a similar type of boat but as yet no firm ideas yet as I cant get pictures to build off. Hence joining this site for help
