She was a Moray (G.I. Joe VvV green version) but I wanted something more like a SWIC boat.
So now she's got a haze gray repaint and a gatling gun mounted up top.
On the forecastle she has a dual deck gun system for anti-air and fire support.
With her high speeds she can still deliver a payload of 2 torpedoes.
When the dual gun is removed she changes roles to insert/extract craft, capable of delivering a six man team via raft tied along side or towed.
Or she can be beached and off-load said team straight to the fight quietly or guns blazing.

Its modular, meaning the forward gun can come off.
But I'm working on putting in a (Bbi) 30mm grenade mount up front too.
And I've gotta hash out the two gun stations on the rear.
Also need to mount the smoke float/chaff dispersers on both side of cabin.
I know many of you guys have been customizing for quite some time, but please be gentle.
I've got another repaint custom in the works at the same time so this may take a while to finish. But not much longer.
Suggestions with solutions, and/or thoughts/feedback is greatly appreciated.
(To tell the truth I was kind of nervous to show it here after being a fan of the site but never really having the guts to jump in. LOL)

Nice work! Any decals in mind?

I've got a few from other kits and toys but still looking for something more "real world" like.
I don't want to fall short on it so I've been checking the web and naval vessel info books to get it nailed down.

Youre off to a great start.

I love the colour scheme and the projected mission specs.

Im not sure about the front weapons though.

They seem to be too overpowered for such a small platform.

Removing one would help, but even then I just feel that it would have to fire from front on only to avoid tipping the boat.

Any firing from a lateral position would likely sink it.

IMO the addition of a grenade launcher and perhaps a couple of .50 cals would be sufficient, especially for the second mission brief.

True, I had thought about the lateral firing issues and figured just anchor out and fire it with the bow towards the shore, or beach itself at clearing for the same effect.

The GL and 50's are sort of where I'm stuck at having to make them from leftovers and spares that is.
But I'm also working at building a 25mm gun to mount up front too.
So ill see which weapon fits/looks right when its all said and done.
But I want to keep it modular for play/display/storage.
Thanks for looking and giving support!

Bump, with a couple progress pics.
I think she's lookin good.
Just gotta find a way to mount those rear guns near the engine.
The four in the back just don't sit too well with me, but I do have an idea.
