RAF Crash Tender
Looking for a kit or a hull like or similiar to the RAF Crash Tender in fiberglass or ABS. I'm not much of a scale wood person. Any suggestion.

Neither particularly cheap, but both are quality, and done according to the instructions, they both GO.

Hello gbrobbins, this is Randy from the club, on a little different note, there is a German Schults fast mine sweeping boat from Robbe, you can see it on the Harbor Modles web site, it goes for $275 "there", mabey cheaper some other places, it probably comes with motors. Randy

RE: RAF Crash Tender
The new hull is a US PT style converted to air rescue. the hull is Elco PT61 converted later to air resuce. Would like to find the color scheme for hull after conversion. Tks
