Airfix Lifeboat Crew ?

[Captain Canada]

Didn't I read somewhere that this kit was supposed to have a crew ?

Well, it doesn't. Any body have a tip on what to use to crew it ? Going to be CCG with maybe a few MGs on deck.

[The Rat]

Here we go, he knows damned well that I don't have any so I'll feel guilty again when I drop in at his place with some cheap kit and leave with... more.

Oh, and before I forget, I expect that F-94 to be whiffed by the end of the year.

We do have a 'Sovietize it' GB going on you know.

Heckler and Goch or something like that.  Know they did some U-boat figures and think there were some US guys for the Gato.

Suggest you have a look at the RNLI site itself, what you may be surprised to find is that with all the survival suits and helmets etc they look more like fighter pilots or astronauts than seamen. So may not be the best idea to use WW2 landing craft crew slightly modified modern aircrew may be much closer to reality. I couldn't get the clip working on my pc but sure it may provide enough info.

seems to have a broken link, so look at the Tamar and trent clips or anything else if you want.
