Was the price a reality check Chris?

There's not a lot wrong with it!

1) it needs the waterline tidied
2) it needs aft cabin front repainted orange
3) it needs deck fittings added
4) a quick tidy up of wiring etc inside

Then you'd have a very nice model tyne with little work.

Yes Spongie, but if you want to pay peanuts, you are bound to find monkeys have built it. I would be very happy and proud to own that Tyne.

Re number it and it would make a nice Cromer lifeboat.

Just like to say whilst I pointed out areas for improvement I'm by no means saying it's not a good model as is!
