From DaveD - Fairmile D MGBs for Cruel Seas - 24 points

 Hola - Dave D reporting in. I needed a proper rest over the festive season to get the creativity going again. I will catch up with the blog posts here too  The brushes are twirling away now .I have had to set a lower than usual target this year as CV19 is making the day job challenging . So let’s what gets done .

 First up is clearing off some paint table lurkers for the Cruel seas collection - a couple of larger 1/300th Fairmile D. MGB’s . I had started these earlier the year but I was not happy with the deck colour i had gone with, so decided to start over again. I got the colour I wanted right this time .

These were nice kits to work on  and are a good size up (they are about 4 inches long ) from the other British Vospers I have . Hopefully they give the S Boats a bit more opposition .



I added in some rigging/aerials as well to bring them to life more , along with crewmen 


2 x 8 points  = 16 

16 crew =8 points 

Total 24 

Huzzah ! challenge XI is up and running .

    Cracking brace of Fairmiles Mr D. I need a few of these as well as the Vospers get turned to kindling pretty quickly against the E-Boats.
