Thanks.
It was a lot of work converting the PT boat hull and then scratch making everything else but I'm happy how she turned out as there are no model kits of this type of boat.

Beautiful model. Especially getting your whites and yellows right. Not the easiest colours to work with.

Hi
This is my 72nd scale RAAF Air Sea Rescue Boat.
It's a modified PT boat hull with everything else scratch made.
This boat was originally operated by the Royal Australian Navy in WW2, known as HMAS Air View. After the war it was then handed over to the Air Force.
