This part is shrunk at the end. It results in big gap between window frame and the window. I would say it is rather disaster, than improvement of any sort.

Nice review Moss. Do they have "Marrie Celeste" on the additional names!!! Never mind extra names, I would have prefered some lifeboat men/women to extra names. Regardless, I will probably get one but it will still be a bit lacking. Perhaps Airfix might like to make a box of Lifeboat/survivor "soldiers".
@davidhinkson88565 ай бұрын
This is a nice kit for someone who may be now coming into the hobby, or someone who hasn't built a ship model in a very long time like myself. Looks like it builds into a really nice model, Is it the same vessel that was in a set with the Sea King rescue helicopter some years ago or was that another one?

Loving the look of this set! The decals are a bonus but I think they've missed a trick. Why not do them individually as batches so that they can be sold with the set through the relevant lifeboat station? Even if it was £5 I'd rather pay that & get the full kit from whitby (my nearest) for £25. Now if airfix want to do a kit of my local lifeboat, the Zetland in redcar, which just so happens to be the world's oldest surviving lifeboat!

@@MOS6510Models another alternative could be they supply RNLI with a bunch of sets & they seperate them to be sent to each station. Other than that I guess it's someone buying a set & offering out the decals to others. Soooooo...... Anyone want to sell me whitby? 😂

I think for where this kit is initially marketed most buyers won't bother getting the extra decals, it can be completed 'as is' but for us few who want to model a particular vessel then the option is available, but it's your choice.

Decal sheet at £10 plus postage so to complete this starter kit it will cost you nearly £40 thats a no go especially when you onky need 1 set of decals for your chosen area. I have already pre orders the kit itself when it was announced bk in January these decals ahould have been inclusive in the kit ti start with. If Airfix is looking to lose customers its going the right way about it charging them £10+ for decals is an absolute joke.
@MOS6510Models5 ай бұрын
I disagree with that.. As someone who buys decal sheets for different schemes for the builds i do, i have spent a £14.99 a time to do this. decals are not cheap to produce either. they could have not released the decal sheet and got 3rd parties to do it.. People asked them to do it, damned if they do....

@kittyhawk97075 ай бұрын
Does the Decal sheet include "Taxi", "Uber" or "Free Channel Taxi Service " and does the kit include 50 figures and a few rubber boats ... You would be able to create a fantastic diorama of the "Channel Taxi" collecting their none fares whist in the distance the crew of a sinking Trawler look forlornly on .

I'm no sailor but what you said were rowlocks [pron. rollocks] were davits Mos. Rowlocks being the U shaped jobbies oars go in and davits being wot ropes get wound around to secure boats. I think. There again I could be talking a load of rowlocks *LOL*
