46'' RAF Crash Tender

with regard to lights, white at top of mast just use an led that fits in the mast and run the wires inside. I ditched the white metal mast, its weak, and a bit of a mess imo. Its not too difficult to make one from some cheap brass. green and red nav lights (I used the tips from pens to replicate the shapes of the mountings) blue front of wheelhouse under the mast stand (see number 72 on attachment) white search light much talk of the white stern light! but no mention in any of the Vosper paperwork, (but it is on one of the pictures) Then if you want to illuminate inside the cabins etc, I used pygmy bulbs to give the yellow look It now all depends on the level of detail you want. I made my mast to fold as per the original, I read that the unusual shape of the mast legs was due to the fact they used (RAF boat don't forget) they do resemble this, but its a nice story!
