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?

[Frank3k]

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
