Would anyone happen to know of anyone who might have a 1/72nd scale lifeboat I can borrow just to take a couple of photographs? If there is, and they will, there are a few freebie figures in it for them!

Colin could you possibly ask on Mayhem for me as I no longer have an account there. Neil might know someone.

Thanks guys

Richard,

Radius for delivery/collection? Presumably from Lincoln?

Will any lifeboat do?

A 1/72 scale lifeboat model would be quite small wouldn’t it. The biggest I can think of, 70-001 Charles H Barrett would be less than 12″ long. Are there many that small Richard?

It needs to be modern as the figures are modern. Yes Ray, a built Airfix one would be perfect.

Colin, Its for a magazine review so there is going to be little return in it for me, consequently I don’t want to travel too far for it.
