Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat Plastic Model Kit

The Severn class lifeboat is the largest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet introduced in 1995. As an all-weather vessel, she can take on the worst sea conditions and comes into her own on long offshore searches and rescues. When lives are at risk out at sea, time is of the essence. 

With a top speed of 25 knots and a range of 250 nautical miles, the Severn class lifeboat can reach casualties fast in calm or rough seas. She carries a small powered Y boat, ideal for rescues near rocks and shallow waters, and can be launched using the Severn's integral crane.

The kit in this box enables you to build a fully detailed model of this RNLI Lifeboat. Full details of the outside deck, hull and fittings are included and you can view a fully detailed interior by removing the cabin roof. The decal scheme will allow any one of the current operational RNLI Severn class lifeboats to be modelled. 

A minimum of £1.60 from the sale of this product will be paid in support of the RNLI.
