Trent Lifeboat Numbering
« on: February 21, 2009, 09:05:20 AM »
Looking at the Model Slipway model of a Trent their model of 14-10, has black decals on three parts of the superstructure.

Looking at pictures of full sized boats most seem to have white numbering on the hull instead.

I'm basing my model on 14-18 but cannot find a picture of it to identify which method / position I should be using.

Can anyone help ?

thanks

The decals in the Model Slipway kit are of the OLD STYLE lettering/numbering system. The pictures of the boats today are the new style. Which to use depends upon what year you want to depict the boat. The answer is to find a picture of 14-10 taken in the year you are modelling her. 8)

Andrew

You could use either as the livery change was changed about the time of the 175 year anniversary in 1999.

As Mike said it depends on what date you want to depict the boat.
