1/400 Rescue Station Stornoway (Airfix)
The severn Class lifeboat from Airfix was a pleasure to construct. The majority of the time, was consumed with the extensive color scheme. All colors used were from Tamiya. Starting out with a matt white ground color. The orange took five layers to get the correct deepness. The lifeboat was placed full hull in the water.
The rescue station itself was constructed entirely from Evergreen Plastics. I used a real photograph as an example.
The water was constructed from two components of resin.
The crew on board and on the dock are from Preiser
The pilot is from Airfix.
The Labrador helicopter will be replaced by a Sea King from the RN.
I would like to thank the management of Airfix for bringing this model on the model market. It was excellent to build.
