Is there a kit of a 1/16 kit of the Mersey class about?

[nhp651]

in one word...No,
sorry
at that scale you'd have to get lines and Ga's from the RNLI and build one yourself.
neil.

What kits and what scale are there?

[nhp651]

there are quite a number of kits from both Metcalf mouldings and Model Slipway,

semi kits from Models By Design and some hulls from the same supplier, but no Mersey at 1:16 scale.there is a link on this site.look here..

sorry, maybe I should have been more specific, I meant the Mersey Class kit, who and where do them if anyone know.

I know know others do them, I have both the Trent and Tamar from Slipway and I will be ordering a Seven in the next week.

I want to reproduce the St Annes Life boat which is a Mersey, Her Majesty The Queen, but would have liked to keep to scale I already have (1/16). However since there are non I need to consider a different scale, I am only aware of mobile marines who make one..

[RyanB]

Sorry models by design, I was on the mobile marines web site at the same time when I was typing and not thinking..

[nhp651]

they are the only one manufacturer I know of Ryan.
neil.
