RAF Rescue Launch

[Ratch]

An old build

Hi Rod.

The figures come with the kit, unfortunately one isn't really visible as he's in the wheel-house. I've made both the E-boat and this RAF launch and consider the figures in the kits are arguably the best 1/72 figures Airfix have ever produced, and I've been making Airfix since the mid to late 50's. If you see any of these kits grab them as they are a joy to build.

I can't comment on the Vosper as I've yet to get my grubby hands on one, but by all accounts they are as good as the other two in the range.

Remember we do this for fun John the Pom.

Rod, that's an entirely different subject and should be asked in a dedicated Vosper thread. Posting in this thread will muddy the waters.

Here is one I built in 2011 in one of the alternative schemes:

Nice one Dave. I have another in the stash I may waterline.

Hi Grumpy,

The guns come with the kit but Ratch didn't fit them to his as his was an early 1941-42 boat. They didn't have them fitted then (nor the splinter matting) until after the Dieppe raid (August 1942).

Both are very nice kits. My kits are in the stash, must look for them.
