Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
Hi all I decided to give this one a go, it's actually a very nice kit and at 12.99 cheap.
Here's the box instruction booklet and my start on it.
I intend to put it on a base in a very rough sea.

Hi all here's the next update.
Do you think this water is ok not to steep?
I won't get any more done for a week as I'm on hols.

This is starting to look good, I like your idea of making a dramatic wave.

Hi all here's the next update, I've heard lots of people say this is a bad fitting kit but I have to say it seems spot on to me (so far anyway) just a trial fit of the top cabin nothing fixed yet I'm toying with the idea of making it removable to show the detailed interior.
Re: Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
I've got to say for pocket money prices this is a really detailed kit I'm really enjoying it, I must have the one good fitting kit airfix made of it because I've got to say so far it's been a perfect fit no problems at all I wonder if there is a bigger than 1/72 model of this kit.

There is a lot of detail internally! I hadn't realised how good this kit is; I may need to acquire one......!
The wave dio will look really dramatic, looking forward to seeing the finished article

Re: Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
I have to agree that this kit does fit very well. My only issues were with the railings.
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Here is the next update, glued on the base just waiting to add the water effects.
Re: Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
Hi all well I've started the water, obviously needs to be a lot bigger on the spray I envisage it going well over the bow and probably double the ammount coming from the front then lots of connon wool for the masses of foam.

Re: Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat
Coming along nicely. It's going to look very dynamic when it's finished. Is that silicone you're using for the water?
