In this video we start building Revell's US Navy Swift Boat Mk. I into sub-assemblies that will be easier for us to paint.
This is Revell's US Navy Swift Boat Mk. I in 1/72 scale, kit No. 05176.
The Swift Boat, also known as the Patrol Craft Fast (PFC) was initially used to patrol coastal areas and later for working interior waterways in Vietnam. The US Navy no longer uses these vessels, but they are still in use in Vietnam today. Approximately 125 of this type of watercraft were built by Stewart Seacraft during the Vietnam War.
I hope you enjoy this video.

I guess if someone wants a challenge build a Revell model. Thanks Johnny for the video.

It would seem so doesn't it Jimmy, lol. The engineering is a little off, and that is something that you wouldn't expect for a 2021 kit. On a good note, they've gotten better since 1967! 😉Johnny

For a moment there i thought that you would assemble the whole boat with masking tape Johnny Lol! Nice work taking care of all the imperfections and filling needed to the parts! Better take care of those things now! Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!

Hey Johnny. I can dig calling yourself a hillbilly, but from where I'm sitting, you're more like a professor. I just picked up this kit (my first in decades), and I'm going to follow along with you on the build. Thanks for all that you do for old farts like me!

That's great DzimisP! Just make sure to fit that superstructure really well, spending the time there will pay off in the final assembly. Have fun with your build and good luck! Thanks so much for watching, take care and model on! Johnny

Hi Johnny, Really nice work on your Swift boat. It's to bad the fit wasn't better. It looks like you got it sorted out just fine. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day buddy. Jeff

Hi Johnny, a lot of filling and sanding. I'm sure it will all pay off. The paint plan sounds solid. Good looking out for that. Nice detail with the door. Do the plastic windows get applied on the inside or from the outside? So far, so good. Mikey V.

Hi Mikey V, thanks for watching. The windows get installed from the inside, shouldn't be too hard to do. Take care my friend. Johnny
