That looks like latest incarnation of this nice little Graupner model. How did you find the build and fit of the parts?

The keel was bent so I had to straighten that out but apart from that it all went together well, I will post some more photos later

Adam,
A very neat model - just like the real thing! I had one of the earlier version, fast and 'nippy' and a little twitchy in turns, but great fun. I sold it on last year. The later version looks a lot better. I have attached a couple of photos of the real vessel.

Adam,
It's on here as the 'RNLB The Morrell' Models by Design Shannon build - Canterbury Coxswain.
How's the FCB2 1/16th doing, any more done recently?
Cheers,
Kim
