North Stars Models has two types of DKM life rafts produced in resin with PE netting.
Great replacement parts for your DKM ships as the have a very nice relief casted into the rubber rafts and the PE netting as an extra bonus on the detail side.
The castings are easily removed from the blocks with minimal clean-up.
There are 50 rafts in each set should be enough for several ships.
SUMMARY
Highs: Highly detailed resin castings and PE netting.Lows: None foundVerdict: I will buy more when needed.

Trying something a little different this time.
The two different mediums and yellow even though they are primed with Mr. Surfacer may be a problem to paint together with out the need of an overdose of yellow.
Since the yellow on DKM rafts is a rather allusive color(I think I got it right), and yellow is always a troublesome color to paint. I have painted the rafts and PE, then did a cover coat of Tamiya flat clear. After this dries for a few days I will give the netting a try.
