First finished project this week is the 1971 Airfix Vosper MTB in 1/72 scale. This was a dire kit- the plastic was more like polyethylene than polystyrene and the two hull halves and deck were badly warped. It took a lot to get them anywhere near aligned. Paint is Tamiyac acrylics.

    And second project finished the same night is the 1975 Airfix release of the German S-Boat. Also in 1/72. This also had warped hull halves although this time it was because the kit was bought 2nd hand and the prior owner pushed the two halves into the box parallel with the long side rather than laying them diagonally across the box. Didn't do them - or me - any favours. Theres a fair amount of filler under the paint correcting the misalignment.... Paint, again is Tamiya acrylics. Issues with hull aside it was a fun build.
