RIB kit/fitting
« on: November 24, 2012, 06:58:22 pm »
I'm looking for a 'fitting' in the form of a rigid inflatable for a 1:50 scale ship.


I've spent about an hour trawling the suppliers in my favourites - plenty of ships boats and plenty of plain inflatables (and liferafts, etc), but nary a RIB. I'm very surprised.


Does anyone know of one - about 1:50 scale - not crucial; a few inches long basically. Doesn't have to be one piece - I just don't really want to scratch one.

You could try sjbatche on Mayhem.
He does 1:50 RHIB hulls for the Armidale class.

Thanks for the suggestions, but as rottie says I don't want a liferaft.
I'd seen the Gemini but that's what I call a plain inflatable. Brian's one is the sort of thing I'm after, though ideally I'd like the console and outboard for it as well. Looks like a nice moulding though. If there really isn't a commercial unit I'll give sjbatche a pm.

No, Sirmar don't have anything on their website.

Dicky, that RIB looks just the thing, and the davit thingy is very interesting as well. I've sent Mr Batche an e-mail now; we'll see what it brings me :)
