ok doek.
i have recently purchased this lovely model from ebay, it turns out the seller was only about 5-6 miles down the road from me !!

however, it`s a lovely model as i`m sure you`ll agree and he`s a top bloke, very helpful and very friendly.

apparently a scratch built model.
cant wait to get her in the water and try

I saw it on e-bay too Adzam. Was wondering when you'd own up to being the lucky purchaser. It's a lovely model - and registered at Leith! Bringing it down on Sunday?

Glad you like the model, I was really surprised to see it on here.
Drop me an email if you are sailing it on Sunday and I will come along with the Trent Lifeboat.

Sunday 18th July is the 'Wheels of Yesteryear' rally at the Ingliston showground. Most of the club members will be sailing at the pond (NW corner) from 10.30am on. R/C model cars are in the SE corner - hope there's no frequenct problems. You might find Inverleith a bit quite that day!

no probs ajg, thanx for letting me know

Anyday / time is fine by me.
Just let me know when and where.

By the way if you are getting figures for the boat, most of the fittings are
1/12 scale, if that helps.

as for one of allans other models, well, a lovely model slpiway trent class lifeboat. that go`s very well . allan is a bit sadistic in testing his models in ALL conditions

.

where hoping to venture up to inverleith in the very near future.

Sadistic is a bit scary. I prefer development trials.

So saying that !! Lets hope its blowing a gale and I can try the self-righting capability of theTrent. Must remember to secure the battery this time.

Must be mad !!!
