Title: Ships' lifeboats
Post by: funtimefrankie on May 19, 2006, 07:08:39 pm

I'm after six lifeboats for my SS Manxman 1:86.
They need to be 100mm long and 35mm wide, does anyone know of a fittings supplier who might stock something like this?
Thanks
Frank

 Quaycraft have an excellent reputation- I think Westbourne and Model Dockyard sell them
