The kit includes a p/e bit for the swim platform. (The stern ladder is molded on the ship!) But I didn't like it, so I used a scrap piece of wood deckling that was lying about the desk. I might advise sanding the stern of the speedboat a little shorter. A 16-footer would be just about right.
The Yard Minesweeper got herself some love today as well. A 3D-printed Mk. 2 3". 50 caliber cannon will be issued with the US Navy YMS-1.
2 p/e 20mm guns, mast and ladder section make up the rest of the 136-footer metal parts.
People like me with NOD (Nautical Oddity Disorder) get a lot of mileage out of the 1/700 scale YMS-1 platform. Wild Goose and her far-away sister, Calypso were both converted from these handy, wooden-hulled, little ships.
The 45' dive boats got a light gray wash. The air tanks would be metallic, but a swipe with a #2 pencil should take care of this. I didn't cast anything at all today.
Thanks fer (sigh)................lookin' in, Pilgrim.
