Title: LESRO Models
Post by: Martin (Admin) on January 21, 2018, 03:25:38 pm

 
LESRO Models.

I think the Atlantic 21 RNLI RIB Lifeboat is a real collectors item but I would guess, the Pilot Boat must be the 'most built kit'.

These pictures of early Lesro models are priceless and they have also helped me as I re-construct an old Rapier that has a lot of parts missing and with no plans to refer to, any pictures are very helpful.

Fond memories there, I loved my Lesro Arrow, a really good looking boat, fast and handled well, plus it was easy to build.  :-))


I almost hate to say it, but I've still got a part built Atlantic 21 and a 'new-in-makers-box' one too.  :-)

I've got a Lesro models Sprite, but I thought they were originally called "Ramrod" or am I confusing it with something else?

I had forgotten that Lesro also made a smaller version of the Rapier - and the pictures of that were helpful too! 


The blue Stilleto model pictured also has the "registered port" as being Exmouth  - I was living in  Exmouth in the early 70's and (almost) remember seeing a boat that looked just like that!

My 26 year old Javelin that I built in 1994 with a glow plug engine and am now refurbishing and converting to brushless.

Found this in French that has different names for the Arrow (Trident) and Stiletto (Espadon) when sold in France years ago.


Also the thread has some nice pictures of a Stiletto and an Arrow in matching schemes. From what I can work out it is a log regarding someone finding a boat (Stiletto) that they had owned in the past (1975) and were revisiting their youth by finding and restoring a similar boat.

That is a nice find Stuw, it's always good to see different models of these old surviving  LesRo boats.

I had no idea that they were sold in France under a different name.

There is also nice Stilleto for sale on Facebook Marketplace at the moment - quite pricey for this small model, but it is well done.

Its a bit like waiting for a number 3 bus - you wait for ages to see one, and then two come along at once!

Stay safe!
