I thought they were getting into the super-deformed model business... but it's a real boat:

Barrier Boat

Still a strange choice for a model. 3"/80mm in 1/72

I wasn’t sure if it was an AI joke or what!
Now, how can we whiff this?

Maybe two torpedoes at the waterline, running at all times to give the boat some extra speed. I think even a 0.50 cal MG would be too much for that boat. It reminds me of a Benchy (a 3D filament printer test model):

Yup. Simplest possible whif would be to just paint it yellow. 'Boom boats' are pretty common in these parts. (For dioramas, ensure that the boom boat is heeled over to a minimum of 35° and kicking up plenty of foam!)

If the boat's tiny size is a insurmountable issue in 1/72, there's always 1/1  ;)
