Airfix Vosper MTB

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.

You forgot Revell PT Boat...

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

The ESM 72 database lists 307 1/72 scale (or close) ship and boat kits and models produced in many mediums since the 1950s. 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.

Tamiya made a Vosper patrol boat. I have one in the basement that I bought probably over 10 years ago and never got around to finishing up.

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.
