This is my entry for Medics. Its an Airfix 1/72nd scale Air Sea Rescue Launch. Sadly I can't update the photos to show all the rigging and weathering as I've stupidly left my camera at work and my wifes doesn't macro

Very nice model Shaun!
Specially the pictures in the water are great.
Didn't know medic boats had so much weapons, but I guess it was needed for self defense.
Also nice contrast between the yellow and grey.
Well done!

Thanks mate. Its an old kit and not very crisp. But it comes up ok. I intend to build another and motorise it with r/c gear. :-)

Thnaks guys. It looks better now I've weathered it and fitted rigging, so maybe I'll update this post next w/e. As for the r/c conversion, it'll have to wait for next year (overseas in a dusty place) but I am thinking about using micro r/c gear from a small car and motors from mobile phones and pager vibrators.
