Title: Mersey Windscreen Wipers
Post by: SJHE on April 17, 2020, 08:58:34 pm

Looking for a set of windscreen wipers for a 1/12th Mersey class on the off chance anyone can recommend a supplier? I'm also after a set of handrails if possible. Thanks

Hi
I don't know about the windscreen wipers but Model Slipway make stanchions / handrails in white metal for 1/12 scale lifeboats. Hope this helps.

you may find that you have to scratch build them and try to keep off white metal fittings as the are too heavy when weight on a model lifeboat is at a premium, nemesis

For my 1/12 scale police launch I found a set of wipers made for a 1/14 R/C model lorry. I can't remember which online model shop they came from but they look good on the boat. A bit of Googling should find a set, I found a few options in both plastic & metal.
