[StartQuote] The other day, I decided to purchase two Airfix Vosper Boats. I must admit that I never thought I would build any British boats, but I am finding them to be an interesting boat with as much history as our American PT Boats. The scale is 1/72, and I will have Stan build them alone, meaning NO DIORAMA. Al Ross providing me with some information, as I know very little about these boats, so I really have no clue on boat colors, or what Squadrons I want to depict. I have Tim Connelly's book on the Vospers, which should be a large help, but was wondering what colors the Sailors uniforms were. The kits come with some figures, although I have not gotten the boats yet in the mail. I understand that the Airfix kits are very well made, although updates on the weapons is not a bad idea. Several companies produce them, so that should no be a problem. I think colors at this point is the most imporant thing, and picking a boat number. I know little about the British Squadrons, and have no clue about famous boats that might have as famous as our PT-41. I guess this is what I get for not looking beyond the PT Boats of WWII. Are there any charts out there that might show the British colors of the Navy Sailors? In any event, this should be fun, because now I can learn about something new, and look forward to adding more boats to the Exhibit. [EndQuote]
