Decided it is going to be 1/48th. :)
Not a lot of progress, basic engine assembly done w/added copper prop shaft, center prop shaft from Airfix 1/72 RAF Rescue Launch
added to outside (the Airfix kit is being built as a twin-engine craft), first parts of the engine bearers.
Just for giggles the boat and the RAF launch side-by-side, the 1/35th boat is about 20' long real size, so you can see that
the 1/72nd 65' Launch scale-o-rammed to 1/35th would be a fairly small boat in real world terms. Oddly enough the
transoms of the two are almost the same size, that of the RAF launch being @1/8" deeper.
Photobucket is acting up, so pics via attachment.
