Looking for 1/72 rubber dinghies.

As it says in the title, i'm looking for a couple of 1/72 rubber dinghies for the Floaty McBoatplane GB.
The Airfix RAF Rescue Launch has one in it if anyone can bear to part with one.

Thanks.

I have just had a look at the dinghies that are with the Albatross in the monogram/revel kits, and they are in a word crap. The dingy is molded in to some choppy water effect plastic and you only really get the top half of the dingy too. If they are still of use to you Fred, I can send them or take a picture for you and email it to you.

Someone made a white metal dinghy sometime. I used to have one, paired with an RNLI D Type lifeboat, also in white metal, but I sold them both ages ago. Maybe Knightwing, or one of the other model railway providers?

The E-Boat or rather S-Boote kits by Airfix & Revell have rubber dinghies

Chris (onord).  Thanks for looking and for the offer.  I had a look online and they are horrible.  So thanks but no thanks.
Kit.  Thanks i'll check them out.
Chris (Dogsbody).  That is perfect.  I've searched on shapeways but it's search system is, umm, shall we say esoteric?
Thorvic.  Thanks.

Ooh, here's a good solution: Revell's 1/72nd scale model of Jacques Cousteau's PBY Catalina had a Zodiac and a couple of divers in it. If you could get one of these, you could steal the Zodiac and still have a full civilianised Catalina in the stash which I'm sure you could find a use for.

Bad news is that their website doesn't appear to have bene updated since 2014 and there's only one item (not this) for sale on their Ebay store: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fbminis2011
