The Solent Lifeboat is a member of the Aerokits range that has eluded me so far.
Most of the other models in their range I have either built or driven - but not the Solent Lifeboat. Les Rowell usually produced the designs for many good Classic Model Power Boats to be kitted (H&M, Aerokits, LesRo being the most well known). It was good to see that when he chose to deviate from his usual choice of cabin cruisers that he chose such a nice model to kit as the Solent Lifeboat. Thanks for the info about the orange paint and the undercoat - much appreciated. Bob. ▲

Hi Bob
The paint is Hycote Double Acrylic Volkswagen Brilliant Orange, I used Halfords Plastic filler primer, which is a sort of yellowy green colour. The Hycote came from Amazon ▲

What paint do you use for the orange colour Martin, and do you need to use a pink undercoat to make it cover properly?
