Revell Swift Boat PCF "Let's soak their washing!" Mekong Delta. Vietnam (Re-visited)

[JR]

570, have to say one of your best. Love the movement you've managed to get, the base is superb, impressed with the greenery you did as a back drop.
There was no doubt in the Committee's mind about awarding

Congratulations.
Matron has one point to raise " Don't take so long next time " .

Great job Ron, figures bring it more to life :thumb2:

Thanks Lee. Sorry for the late reply, I've been away in the camper for about a week. Rain, wind, rain, wind. Two jigsaws completed and an empty booze cupboard has forced us to come home........Today.

Re. the model. Just a pity the soldiers are the wrong era. I just couldn't find suitable 1/48 Vietnam Marines....Not to worry, I'm happy with the finished model, warts and all.

Cheers.
Ron

Great water!

[spanner570]

Thanks Peter.
Although it was a fair old time ago, I well remember the false starts I had creating the water and also the wash made by the P.C.F. All good fun....

Thanks again.

Gaso.line through Quarter kit do 48th 'Nam figures... bit late I know but something for the future?!

[spanner570]

Lee. Thanks for going to the trouble of rooting out some suitable figures. Your help is much appreciated. :thumb2:

But at least £70 plus p/p for the same number of figures as are stuck on my model is way out of my price range......Sorry, the wife's!

Thank you for your help none the less.

Hey Ron, awesome work as is your norm.
As far as Kerry goes?.....having just finished supper I'd rather not discuss that thing at the moment.

Look him up and you will see what I mean.
