Model Forum / General / Models / January 2007Airfix Vosper MTB
Airfix makes a 1:72 kit for the British Vosper motor torpedo boat. Has anyone built this kit? I am wondering what would be involved in changing this from a torpedo boat to a gun boat. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone know of a kit to build a 1:72 motor gun boat? Oren It's been a while since I built the Vosper MTB, but if I remember correctly you could easily remove the torpedo fittings. But that'll not solve your problem, most (if not all) MGB's were a totally different design. What You'll have to do is find linedrawings to show the differences before deciding how difficult it is. The RAF Rescue launch from Airfix is also 1:72 and they have a german MTB (E-Boat) and Revell has a newer german MTB. The only other 1:72 scale WW II ship/boat I know of is the Matchbox/Revell Flower calss corvette.

Lindberg LSU?? Cheers, Lindberg LSU?? Alas,no -- I think it's "box scale" or 1/125.

Some are easy to find such as Revell, others very difficult, such as the many, expensive built models by Tyson. A few of the listings are detailing sets for specific kits such as the Czech Master detailing sets for the Revell U-Boat, etc. Others are small craft such as the Kayaks in the Airfix Commando set. In that extensive listing there are, sorry to say, no British Gun Boats. Tom > Airfix makes a 1:72 kit for the British Vosper motor torpedo boat. > Has anyone built this kit?

I have one in the basement that I bought probably over 10 years ago and never got around to finishing up. http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/category.php?sub-id=25000 The Tamiya Vosper Boat is a 1960's version running on Gasturbines, used by Libya, UK, and Denmark and also I belive somewhere in the far east.
