Speedline 1/16th Severn lifeboat

[Chris PetherParticipant @chrispether54497]

Ahoy there …..  you horny handed sons-of-the-sea ………!! 

Anyone out there building the Speedline 1/16th Severn ??  There appear to be a few anomolies, and if anyone has found this to be the case also, perhaps you would like a chat. ?  I would certainly appreciate to know if its just me being dumb ………    I  cannot raise Speedline in any way I try; …  phone, e mail, letters, messages etc ……… Does anyone know if Adrian et al has a problem ?

Best regards

Chris

Hi Alan    I’ve managed to get in touch with Adrian now, and he is sorting the things I was worried about …. Its probably more appropriate to have a chat direct, as i dont want to give the impression I’m knocking Adrians magnificent boat …. which I’m certainly not .   If you care to contact me at  [email protected] I’ll fill you in ….. in anycase, it would be maybe a good idea to swop thoughts anyway …??

Cheers

Chris

a good morning to all

i m looking for a severn class model kit from speedline scale 1/12( 130 cm) as speedline disappeared from the web

Does any one still has a kit somewhere?

I finished the trent class model which was my second RNLI lifeboat ( first one was the Plymouth)

Looking forward to hear from you

regards

Dear Herman,

You are correct that Speedline Models is no longer in business and the owner has retired.

I think it will be quite difficult to find an unmade kit but there is always the possibility.

I suggest you also ask your question on the Model Boat Mayhem forum as they have many members who build lifeboats.

I hope this helps.

a gentleman who worked with Adrian is now producing both 1;16 and 1;12 scale severn hulls, decks and cabins under licence from Speedline models……….he hopes to eventually find someone to also do the fittings sets………so hopefully these will be on the market next year…….but the grp items are on sale on ebay at the moment. he is also marketing the Shannon lifeboat in the same scales.
