To be honest, one's a ship, the other is a boat..

My British Navy took delivery of this destroyer HMS Kelly. This is an ancient Matchbox kit built straight out of the box:

My US Navy took delivery of the boat. This is the Airfix Higgins Boat, brand new tooling:

These are two of the six models I finished today. The others can be seen in the Aircraft and Armor Forums.

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
