    HI Matt,
    I am also com pleating a Solent class L/Boat. Try macsmouldings.co.uk for items like lifebelts, access doors, radars and other sundry fittings. They are resin cast and have excellent detail.
    Good Luck

    πŸ“ Aerokits Solent Class RNLI Lifeboat

    I hope someone can help.
    Way back In the late 70's I purchased the Areokits Solent Lifeboat kit and got as far as completing the hull (minus the bilge keels) and the basic superstructure.
    My job took me overseas for the next 20 or so years, with the model stored away for completion at a later date. Over the years and a few house moves, I am now only In posetion of the hull and superstructure. I would very much like to get hold of a set of plans, gladly paying for copies or originals.
    I am hoping that the vast number of site members and the many Areokit models that are displayed, someone will be able to point me In the right direction.
    Since my "start" on RNLI Lifeboats I have gone on to make a further 5 boats all In 1:12 scale, my current boat on the blocks Is the new Tamar Class.
    Here's hoping,
    Biggriff

    Hi, Dave, try Model slipway for your stanchions. They also do a few other bits in 1/12th scale and I believe they will be increasing their range of accessories. My neighbour is building an Arun as I build the Tamar.
    Window kits and D section rubber fendering are available from Speedline models and are to a very high standard (the best I have seen).
    I hope this helps you out.
    Good Luck, Biggriff
