Hi Stephen,
Re: "Going with 1.32 ..."
Sorry, but if you do that I'm afraid you'll be deeply disappointed that you wasted your money. 1:32 crew will look like pygmies on your model๐ฎ
If I'm not mistaken you previously posted that your model (MTB523) is 40" LoA.
MTB 523 was the first of the Type II batch of Vosper 73 foot MTBs with upgraded guns, hence the QF 6 pounder on the foredeck of your model instead of the 20mm Oerlikon (as on the type Is) which was displaced to the after deck , and 2 fish tubes instead of 4 as on Type Is.
73' = 876", divided by 40" = 21.9. So you'd be much better off looking for figures around 1:24. I doubt that you'll find 1:22 commercially available. But talk to the Shapeways guys, they may be able to re-scale to 1:22 for you.
Hoping to help you avoid an expensive mistake,๐
Cheers, Doug ๐
Nice looking model though, looks very well built, deserves an appropriate crew.
PS But if you really-really MUST go 1:32 then how about this chap, going about his business?๐
