Re: Lancfan's DNF RAF Cuckoo rescue Float.
The next job was to fit the waterline grab rail and complete the rear railings.
Before going any further I painted what had been added.

Re: Lancfan's DNF RAF Cuckoo rescue Float.
Work continued by making up and painting the rear access ladder.
The port side bow access ladder was assembled next, this will be copied for the starboard side and then both ladders will be painted.
