Model Slipway Trent Lifeboat For Sale

With much regret I am selling my Trent Lifeboat it is built as the Whitby boat in 2002. You might have seen it displayed at the Birchwood show.

This is how it was when first built

It has been in dry storage since 2012 but the orange paint on the foredeck has started to peel in a small area so I am selling it as spares or repair.

Has twin Johnson 500s and pneumatically operated trim tabs.

Pick up only but I am willing to drive a short distance and meet the buyer.

I will post more photos showing its current condition later.

£400 ono

Hi Ashley

It is a real shame and it is really upsetting as its in great condition apart from the paint peeling and if I had the time I would repaint the area myself and put the price upto £700 but needs must so it has to go.

I am posting it on facebook and then ebay for £450 (£400 for MBM Forum members)

Here are some photos taken today.

With much regret I am selling my Trent Lifeboat it is built as the Whitby boat in 2002. You might have seen it displayed at the Birchwood and Haydock model boat shows where it was valued at £800. Also featured in Model Boat Magazine. It has been in dry storage since 2012 but the orange paint on the foredeck has started to peel in a small area so I am selling it as spares or repair.

Hi All

Well done Ron, I was having similar thoughts, but my wife would most likely kill me If another boat appeared

She is a fine model indeed well done Paul

But for anyone else who is interested I live in Lymm in Cheshire just where the M6 meets the M56.

"…and the dawn comes up like thunder out of Widnes 'cross the bay!"

Just thought it was time for a little bit of culture. And yes – I do know that Widnes is west of Lymm but if you're going to be silly then why let a little point of geography get in the way?

Can't you tell I'm bored with no workshop to play in?

Nice model by the way, Doc.
