US gunboat

US gunboat

A few weeks ago I painted up a new crew for my US gunboat, took the figures out to Spain and here they are all set for action.

The ship is the Britannia German armed trawler, the crew are mostly Raventhorpe

    The crows nest guy comes with the original model, there are other pics of the boat on here somewhere I think?

    They look great- nice repurposing of the original model.

    Cheers,

    I bought it to use as a Spanish 1920s era gunboat you may recall :)

    A second life for it. Have you kept the bits to convert it back again if needed?

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Yes, this set-up is only for the US landings at Saafi (Operation Torch). I am considering converting a French crew in Bachi hats and striped shirts in the future too :)
