          Contact RNLI Headquarters at Poole. They will be able to help you as they sell the plans for both classes of boat.

              Hi
               
              Unfortunately I didnt manage to find any email address of RNLI Engineering Secretary.
               
              On the other hand I found a Tyne plan:
               
               
              Is it a usable plan or I should look for an other one.
               
              Regards.

                The Tyne plan was drawn by Dave Metcalf who is a respected model boating draughtsman as well as being a kit producer so the drawing is likely to be pretty good and aimed at modellers although I have not seen it myself.

                  Atilla, try this email address during normal office hours;

                  The Tyne plan you have found is drawn at 3/4inch to 1foot (1/16th scale) and was designed to be used with a ready made hull( ?? still available) from Model Boats.  The drawings from the RNLI are at 1/20th scale on three very large sheets.  If you wish to build at 1/12th scale ( “normal size” for modelling lifeboats ) you will have to do the calculations needed. Either way in my opinion the best route is to have all the plans/drawings/pictures you can get your hands on to build an accurate model. Remember that all the boats in the class were slightly different because of repairs/refits during their lifetime so choose a boat and timeframe to model to produce the best job you can.
                  My 1/12th scale model of the RNLB Phil Mead, Teesmouth Lifeboat Station just before closure a couple of years ago.
