Hi... I am looking for the rubber fender that goes on the hull of the Waveney... its a kind of triangular or perhaps half circle profile... (I don't suppose I am explaining this very well!!)  Does anyone know where you can buy lengths of it at 1/20th scale?
Cheers Lee

try Model slipway.............they used to have supplies of it...........
 
or dare I say if you fancy a "long stand" Speedline models........but you might see yourself growing a beard before you get a reply.
 
Or Dave Metcalf  of Metcalf Mouldings   supplies it with his Waveney kit "The Scout" he might be able to help too.
 
neil.

Thanks Neil... I shall give them a try.  I am adapting the Billing kit which comes with a split rubber tube that fits onto the deck edge... it looks OK but it isn't really correct.

Go to your local tyre company that does "truck tyres" tell them what you want and they will cut it from an old "truck tyre".Tell them you want it half round(for instance)as it`s for a lifeboat and 9 times out of 10 they will do it foc.Martin

Hi lee,i know it would be better to buy from our manufactuers,but if you take you boat with you to the local tyre place,they will show you the cutting tool and you decide if it`s right before they cut it.I wanted some for my 47' watson i am doing at present ,and got one(yes one)complete strip for the whole of the boat approx 96"(from a truck tyre) but had to cut a bit off,not bad for nothing.Martin
