1/72 Fast Patrol Boat Perkasa (Tamiya)
Tamiya's old Perkasa kit still brushes up a treat, I think. Pretty much straight out of the box except for building a better (I hope) Oerlikon platform aft and getting rid of the clumpy ducting around the props as all of the photos I could find show ducted contra-rotating props. The brave class ships were gorgeous. Used to see them when I was a deckhand out of St. Peter Port.
