I have used Speedline windows on a 1/16 the slipway Trent Lifeboat. Although expensive they are a very accurate product and give a first class result. You might also talk to Adrian at Speedline about the stanchions issue as he may have a solution.

Where are you based? if you like and are willing to trust me, I could buy what you want from Adrian ( he is the only source for the Turner figures as he has bought the tools and stock from George Turner -- and also happens to be a friend of mine ) and send them on to you after you have paid me for the parts and postage. if this is OK with you let me know your address and I will get a cost for you. My direct email is (Email Removed - PM Only) so contact me on that. Good luck, Tom.

I'll get some pictures when I next see it as it is kept at my Mums place in the NE where the lake at the Tynemouth club is big enough to take it given its speed and size. if you are blowing fuses, make sure you haven't over greased the shaft. I did that once and really only a light greasing of the inner shaft and some light oil on the bearings is all that is required. Also try a smaller prop. You may not get any reduction in Speer as the motor may rev faster and at lower amps. I've just taken the 50mm 3 blade brass props off mine and put 45mm 2 blade plastic racing props on and she runs faster and smoother. Hope this helps.

If still available, would you take A£125. I live in Stratford upon Avon so collection would be easy.

It is a "Model Slipway" Kit and is listed on their web site ( www.modelslipway.com ) as Yorkshireman as this was the sister tug. The basic kit costs about A£270 and running gear, bow thrusters, fire monitors and radio gear costs about another A£250. The kit is really for those with modelling experience as it has a few challenges for the inexperienced. Hope this helps

I used the extremely good drawings in the plans sold on the model boats magazine shop web site. As you say, easily copies at staples so can even be used as a template when copied. Good luck with your project.

I agree, that's why my 46inch is kept in Tynemouth where ther is a large lake compared to my local club in Warwickshire. Still it gives me the excuse to have multiple models of different sizes and my Derek old mum loves the idea she keeps my boats for me in the NE. Too muh information ????

I went on the Saturday morning. Long queue to get in. They should have charged A£4 instead of A£3.95 to speed up the process. Overall a good little show. Some good trade stands and some fine displays of club members boats. I'll go again next year if it's on.

I look at it like this, building a Deans kit is part of the rite of passage to being a scratch builder.

Deans do a range of raf launches under their fast launches section. They do a 1/24th fire boat within this for about A£120. I built one of these a couple of years ago. Not the best quality kit in the world but with some skill and rework makes a good model. I put a 18owatt 1100 kv brushless od 7. 2 volts and a 35mm x prop in mine and it flies. Let me know if you need any info on these boats.

Hi, I have 4 Fire Boats all painted the same. For below the waterline I use Ford Burgundy car paint spray from Halfords. Although most boats were painted in a red coloured antI corrosion/ barnacle resistant paint which when new was almost the same colour as red primer, sea water actually turned this paint to a wine colour. Many members at my club have agreed the Burgundy is a good shade. I also use Halfords black spray paint for upper hull. For the super structure I use Halfords grey primer and the roofs are white -- appliance white from Halfords is very good. For the decks I use hum roll RAF blue no. 96. I then spray with a light coat of clear coat(Halfords again) to give a satin finish. Hope this helps.

This has been the best site for almost everything to do with model boats. I re-entered the hobby about 2 years ago and new nothing of the major developments over a 40 year absence. Being a Fireboat nut, joining this site was a natural and gave me more info than I needed at first and encouragement to branch out into scratch building, tugs other Aerokits models and more

Deans marine kit modified to more closely resemble real boat. Working lights, rotating gun turrets and Action P100 noisy thing sounds. Looks great on the water and despite being a frustrating build because of quality, is now a firm favourite. (Motor: 2 x Graupner Speed 600) (ESC: Graupner Navy 30N) (8/10)

Serious fun! Given to me by my Grandfather in the early 1960's, lately converted to radio control. No room for rudder or rudder servo so tank steered via Micro V Tail mixer. Brushless to keep weight down and provide excellent speed controller response. (Motor: 2 x AX1806 2100KV Micros) (ESC: 2x Turnegy 18amp car) (6/10)
