RAF Air Sea Rescue Launch - 1:72 AIRFIX No. 5281

[Edmund]

I would like to present my RAF rescue launch made from the 1:72 scale Airfix kit. It is a nice model to make even if it is built out of the box. I have add only some scratch.
I hope you will like it.

Well done, it looks great.

I just purchased this kit. Had to buy a premium price on ebay due to it not being available anywhere. I hope mine is even halfway as good as yours. Great job!!!

Marvellous job..

Bryian, Fiddlewood, Buster and USNChief, thank you for your warm words. It was a nice model to build. I made some modifications. I have replaced the rescue nets with scrachted ones and made the main mast using some brass pipes. The model won a prize at an annual model festival in Szczecin (Poland).

Congrats on the win!

Nice build. As a kid I remember something very similar (minus the guns!) being moored in the harbour at Bridlington (east coast of England) for use by the RAF as a rescue launch.
