Nick Moore1707819886 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 One of my favourite kits ever was the Vosper Motor Torpedo Boat; I have built that kit at least a dozen times over the years. However, the Royal Navy had a great many other small fighting craft and they all played such a vital role in the defence of the country and also in taking the fight to the enemy. One of the greatest of these was the Fairmile D class boat, known as the Dog boat, which was mainly used as a Motor Torpedo or Motor Gun Boat. They played a massive role in the Mediterranean and Adriatic, as well as in the Channel and North Sea, and I think that these boats deserve to be immortalised by the classic British model producer. I know that Dog boats in 1/72 are available in resin from another company, but they are almost £200 each and are far outside the reach of most modellers. So come on Airfix, how about giving us Royal Navy small ship modellers a real treat and bring out a 1/72 Dog to go with the Vosper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoFF03 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 This should really be posted in a wish list forum. Kitstarter is about reviving existing kits that have not been available for sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
