I picked this up in my local model shop; it was an opened box and the hull had already been partly assembled. Well, sort of. It took an awful lot of filling and sanding to get it looking anywhere near right. Also, this is the first model-making I've done for well over 10 years, and the eyes aren't quite as sharp as they were, so I'm sure it will look far from perfect!
Anyway, this is planned as a warm-up exercise before I start building a Fairmile D in 1/72. So of course I will have to refresh my skills on assembling the weapons kits from David Parkins on this one!
Progress so far: the hull is together; I've added exhaust pipes (I'm cribbing shamelessly from Longshanks8's Vosper thread for this build); put some brass transom rungs on; and started removing the torpedo chocks so that I can replace them with PE items. There is one of the moulded chocks left on the deck in this photo, so you can see how 'blobby' they look. Mind you, the date stamp on the hull casting is 1971, to be fair!
