I liked your comment regarding fitting the cabin to the deck before fitting the whole lot to the hull. I have just finished Merits nice 1/48 Elco PT Boat, and the same occurred to me when finishing it. Fitting the deckhouses properly to the completed deck and hull was a PITA.

Great review! I have this kit (and the Shannon) in my stash. Btw - Castletownbere is pronounced as “bear”. It is a lovely little seaside town in cork.

G'day Nigel. I've always liked the looks of the Coast Guard type Lifeboats. In real life the actual Vessels & they're Crews do a Great Job. This looks like it will be another Really Nice build & look forward to following this one... Hope you feel better from your Food Poisening, You have certainly been in the wars.... Cheers

Just finished this one - its a lovely build, only issues I had was the glazing as described and working out where the white stripe decal goes (i.e. the division between the blue black. For the glazing issue the bottoms kept popping out so I traced the bottom edge with CA on a tooth and pressed it in quickly. Problem solved.

I’ll look forward to building along with this as I put off getting this until a month ago As you know I’m part way through a double build of 2 x Shannon’s, the orange OTB took 10 coats I think as it’s gloss it doesn’t help with coverage, it’s like painting with Tamiya Clear Orange😩, the blue is a bit better but gave to say the black and grey were really quite nice! Then you spray the Outlaw and it’s a couple of smooth coats and a clear…done! Yes the decals cover great, the white line across the hull is totally solid white BUT I really struggled with its positioning…doesn’t look right but 🤷🏻♂️

Hi Nigel sorry to here about the Delhi Belly . Just thought I'd have a smooch over your Severn Clip and it is a nice looking kit and I hope it goes together well for you. I was wanting to have a dig as to why nobody has told me about the big issue with Eduard 1-72nd Scale kits in that they have no location pins. So my first Eduard kit is going to be a little more challenging than i thought it would be (an Il-2 Stormovik) I am also building a somewhat challenging kit the PM Model Ta-154 Moskito OMG why did I start this heap of junk, I have built up an interior for it and its just getting into the start of the main problems with it as the airframe fits together like it was designed by someone that was on LSD. Looking forward to see the progress of this kit Nigel and all the best from me mate!!!

There are a couple of videos coming your way concerning building models without location pins.

@NigelsModellingBench I have built the airframe on the il,2 and I have to say no pins isn't an issue as it leaves mor scope to ensure a better fit

Nice review Nigel, thansk for mentioning my local lifeboat station, and the one that I plan to build, Campbelltown. Th oinly issue I had with this kit is that it doesnt have the names of the individual boats. I know that sounds a little picky, but IMO iif you are going to provide every location you should include the proper names. Not to worry though as Im already on the case of learning to print my own deals, and Im sure for those that arent able to do that, someone may come out with aftermarket.

I reckon that this will now sell like hot cakes due to the popularity of the Shannon kit, great review by the way.

Im building this kit at the moment, unfortunately had a short shot on part 8 so waiting on a replacement part. Tbe hull is quite fiddly. And the suggested build sequence is similar to how i did it.

Is this just a re-boxing ? If it is i have the older one. blooming awful kit. The hull was a nightmare as you have already said but then the cabin was just as bad. missing locating pins. bits did not want to fit. It looks nice with nice mouldings but i was so disappointed as i wanted to build it for The RNIL shop where she works to put in the window or something. its a shelf queen now and i have no desire to go back to it anytime soon. such a shame. I know I'm not the greatest model builder but i just had to give up.

The way to get the orange to coner right might be a white undercoat/primer. Pity its a "Marrie Celeste".
