As an intermediate project I decided to build the Severn class lifboat kit from Airfix as an RC version. This means at first: Don’t follow the instructions, or just a little bit. Electronics, weight and coloring effect the build and order of the parts.
From the huge list of Severn lifeboats I’ve choosen the one from Portrush in Ireland:
Severn class lifeboat ON1257 William Gordon Burr
My building report in parts:

Built #1 – Severn Lifeboat, 1:72 (Airfix) + RC
I needed some time out from my tyne boathouse and slipway project. I saw some 1:200 tugs driving in a table pool on a model fair. So the Severn came back onto my mind. There are some RC builts online to find and 1:72 may be the limit for my hands but not worse.What do…
