Default 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.

Tks for the response. Looking at them. A little small for what I am looking for. A second hand kit or part ly buildt etc etc. We have PTs, destroyers etc in our club but I am looking for somthing different and orgininally from a another country. I have a Schnellboot and having a ball with it.

TKS

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

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
