This is an original file, representing a 1/300th scale model of the British Fairmile B motor launch. The Fairmile B served in both the Royal Navy as well as in the navies of many other Commonwealth Navies - e.g. the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. The Fairmile B served in many capacities and configurations - please note the attached .pdf document for a history of this class of ship and its many weapon configurations. It served as a sub chaser, a motor torpedo boat, a mine sweeper, and as in this model, a motor gun boat.
Please Note  - there are TWO HULLs. please be sure of which model you wish to have before printing.
The weapon pack contains the guns for both hulls; as noted below. The two forward guns - a QF 2 pounder for Hull #1 and a Semi-auto 6 pounder for Hull #2 both has 9mm wide bases, while the other weapons have a 7mm base.
Hull #1 - represents an earlier version, armed with a 2 pounder QF gun on the forte deck and a single 20mm gun on the aft deck
Hull #2 - represents the up gunned MGB, armed with a semi-auto 6 pounder on the fore deck, a twin 20mm mid-ship (hits into a recess) and a 40mm bofors on the aft deck.
Both ships had two sets of twin .303 MGs mounted on either side of the upper pilot house.
