RAF Rescue Launch

I started building this kit many years ago. Now I´ll make a new try to finish it. Some parts are missing, others are broken. The last try is 3 years ago. At that time I made some weathering and painting at the boat, the MG´s and Oerlikon. This time I hope for more patience. 🙂
Some new pics will follow.

Frank Krause
Something different and so good! Like it!

Hi Acki, nice shot. The MG on Starboard is manuel or automatical used? Do you know that?

Holger Kranich
Am i blind? Where do you see a MG on starboard?

Arne Greve
Na das Ding am Heck. Heißt das nicht Starboard?

Holger Kranich
Nee, nicht ganz.😢
Starboard= Steuerbord
Port= Backbord
Stern= Bug
Bow= Heck

Arne Greve
Ah shit. Yep, danke Dir.

Holger Kranich
Kein Thema, wofür gibts uns Friesen?😢

Arne Greve
Jo. 😉

Acki Autor
Jaja, die Maschseefischer. 🙂

Acki Autor
The canon at the bow (thanks Holger!) is an Oerlikon. It was manuel used.

Momentan werden eher Menschenteile aus dem Maschsee gefischt. 🙁

The Oerlikon looks very big for 1/72 scale.

Hi mates, added some more pics. I soldered 0,8 mm wire cause some parts were lost.

Hey Achim, great!! You´ve done a very good Job. I have an old roman ship at home. If you want, you can make some...Takelage...for me. 😉

Recycling is the key...! Good progress!

Hi Acki,
I've overseen this nice built!
Everytime if I can consider a finished model out of this legendary Airfix kit, it isfor me like a journey through time back to my childhood!
Nice result, hope I don't need so many years like you did! 🙂
No joke! Your model is pretty nice!

Hi Dirk, thanks for your kind words. Now you know why I´m watching at your boat. A journey to the childhood is always an interesting trip.😉
