I spotted these two today outside a modern public library in Zhuhai, I couldn't find any information, but I think the plane is a MiG-16 (but I'm only too happy to be corrected), and as for the motor torpedo boat, that's anyone's [...]

Just finished the Hobbyboss LWS in 1/35. Very much an experiment in weathering techniques for me trying dot filters, oils and streaking to name but a few for the first time! Your commennts/critique is, therefore, welcome!
