Tamar class RNLI lifeboat
Tamar class RNLI lifeboatThe Tamar class is the result of several years of research and development by the RNLI to produce the next generation of slipway-launched lifeboat. It is virtually unsinkable and if it capsizes in the stormy seas around the British Isles, it will right itself within a few seconds. The Tamar will
gradually replace the Tyne class.
The lifeboat includes the computerised Systems and Information Management System (SIMS) that enables crew to control many of the lifeboat's functions remotely from the safety of their seats. Other features include advanced ergonomics that reduce the impact on the crew as the lifeboat crashes through waves, and a powered Y-class boat stored behind a transom door to allow immediate deployment. The Y-boat is accessed by lifting a section of the rear deck, then launched and recovered on to a ramp provided by the lowered transom door.
The kit contains all the required parts to build the model:
* Two glassfibre mouldings: the hull and the deck * Prop-shafts, propellers, brass rudders; a bow-thruster tube * CNC-cut and printed styrene parts for the construction of the cabin * Detailed cabin interior comprising the seats and front bulkhead from vac-formed styrene * A set of fittings and stanchions manufactured from high grade cast alloy * Three large frets of etched brass components including detailed window frames, instrumentation, interior detail etc. * Pre-formed mast arches from brass tube * Vac-formed styrene radar, bow fender, liferaft boxes, liferings, the filler bays and hose reel * A vac-formed styrene kit for the Y-class boat with Lettering and Numbers * Rubber fendering, wire, dowel etc. * Self-adhesive Lifeboats lettering and RNLI flags * Three main plans and over 70 isometric drawings for ease of construction

Yorkshireman
YorkshiremanBuilt in 1978 by Cochrane Shipbuilders for United Towing of Hull, Yorkshireman and her sister ship Irishman were two of the UK's largest and most powerful tugs.
Both were involved in all types of towing work in the North Sea and around the world. Their most famous days were without a doubt during the Falklands War when the Royal Navy took them into service with Salvageman. The trio formed the largest group of purpose-built tugs during the war.
Their best known exploit was in the attempt to save the container ship Atlantic Conveyor after she had been hit by missiles from the Argentinean Air Force; unfortunately this rescue attempt was not successful.The kit includes approximately 1200 parts and is recommended for the more experienced model maker.

The folding main mast and cantilevering radar masts together with the low draught flat-bottomed hull allow for a very versatile craft, which can encounter low bridges and shallow waters in and around Holland.
This unusual and distinctive model is based on the full-sized Vliestroom, built in 1987, operating out of Hellevoetsluis near Rotterdam. Link to The Hague MBC shows photos and information on original ships including Vliestroom.

Sentinel
SentinelA 34m Island Class cutter operated by the British Customs and Excise. Built by Vosper Thornycroft and launched in 1993 she has been designed to carry out a wide range of law enforcement duties.
She is a modified version of an extremely successful Vosper Thornycroft design built under licence for the US Coastguard.SENTINEL is powered by two Paxman Valenta V12 diesel engines, with a separately powered steerable water jet for slow speed propulsion.
Top speed is in excess of 25 knots. The hull is fabricated from steel, using computer-controlled laser cutting and robot welding machines.
The superstructure is made from aircraft-grade aluminium, explosively welded to the deck to prevent corrosion.

Range Safety Craft
Range Safety CraftThe primary task of these craft is firing range surveillance and clearance in coastal areas around the United Kingdom. Twelve craft in total were built from 1978 to 1984. Standard engines were Rolls Royce C8M-410, replaced by Volvo Penta TAMDI22D during 1995 giving a top speed of 21 knots.
The Model: Building the model does not require great skills as many parts are ready-made thus ensuring that the boat is completed in a relatively short time.
While the plan is of the 15m Range Safety Craft the model lends itself to adaptation into other boats such as pilot launches, police launches etc. With twin propellers, performance on the water is realistic and true to scale. Recommended for model makers with a little experience.
