Vosper???

Hi everyone i have just bought what i think is a Vosper fire boat to restore but i'm unsure what its scale is, can anyone help?

It's 36 to 38 inches long and 11 inch at its widest point. Any help would be really helpful. 

Sorry forgot to mention you will find pictures of the boat at the end of my photo album.

Hello Penfold

The boat is a Areokits model of a Vosper Mk2 fire/rescue boat, the full size version measured 46ft.

Hi Thanks for that so am i right in thinking around 1/32?

Hello again

The scale of the 3ft model is 1:16. there is lot of info about these models on the interweb just google Areokits RAF Crash Tender.

Will you be posting photos of the refit?

Paul

Cheers Mr Controller (i didn't want to say fat!!) Yes i probbly wil be making a new album all about it.

Looking forward to seeing the pics

Morning Penfold an Paul.

If the original is 46ft LOA and the model is 36.8inch LOA then the scale is 1:15!!

46ft = 552inch divided by 15 = 36.8 ..... QED!

Hope you do something about the colour scheme

Regards,

Robin

Hello Robin

I agree that the true scale is 1:15 but AeroKits sold the model at 1:16 because it was an easily recognisable and workable scale.

Paul

Thanks and yes the paint work is definitely changing!!

Hi Guys do you know the exact colours i will need to use?
