All you need is a few girls in bikini's (or not) on the foredeck. I believe you posted some of this on picture post a while back? Nice work being able to replicate the hulls!

Cheers: Tom

In the end I have constructed four models. Two of the original CCPB and two of the ECCPB.

Before my first CCPB model was finished I started on a few more.

Construction on my first CCPB was quite slow as all of the parts were built up as I needed them.

The Cape Class Patrol Boats (CCPBs) are a 58 m long all aluminium vessel built by Austal in Western Australia. The original eight CCPBs were constructed for Australian Boarder Force. An additional two were then constructed and were leased to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) to supplement the Armidale Class Patrol Boat (ACPB) fleet. Two more were then procured by Trinadad and Tobago. Recently an additional six Evolved Cape Class Patrol Boats (ECCPBs) have been ordered with the first ship of this order entering service with the RAN in March 2022.

I have constructed several 1:72nd scale models of the CCPBs in recent years and the photos in the following posts show how the journey has progressed.
