Sobre este barco
Another semi-kit from Rob Fowler, rob4boats@yahoo.co.uk, who also supplied my MASB.
The hull is very well made and extremely robust.
At 1/24 scale fittings and crew are easily available so there was very little to scratch build. I can only claim ownership of the lockers, and splinter matting (made from Lilliput).
The colour scheme is (loosely), based on Western Approaches camouflage and this was my first attempt at weathering. On reflection it looks quite clunky close up but looks okay on the water.

I recently discover that four HDML's were built here in Maine, just down the road from me. They were shipped to Australia where they served.
Another tidbit: Nelson Rockefellor, former Vice President and former Governor of New York had a yacht called Dragon Lady, When I was growing up it was always referred to as his PT boat. It turns out that it, too, was a HDML that he bought for $1.
Best wishes Tim

It has been on the water but I have not finished all the fittings etc. I hope this will give me the kick to get on with it.
