Guys,

There's an online article from Wargames Soldiers & Strategy magazine that details a conversion of Warlord's Vosper Type 2 to fit a forward-mounted 6 pounder, that might be of interest here -

Love it.

Want one of the BPB whaleback cockpit variants too, with the 2 Pdr. for the earlier period, and the 6 Pdr. for the later period too.

Originally, they were gunboats, but around D-Day, at least some got a pair of torpedoes, and were re-designated as MTBs from their previous MGB designations.
