Hello all, I have been searching for some 1/700 scale lifeboats for a project I have started and have so far, had no luck in locating any. Can anyone here direct me to some merchant maring type WWI or WWII era lifeboats?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
razorboy

Don't know of any aftermarket sets, I assume you checked out White Ensign and Battlefleet models. If unsuccessful there you might want to go to Ebay and buy a 700 scale kit cheap and steal the lifeboats from it. Japanese battleships have quite a few Too bad you aren't doing 350 as I have a bunch i could send you.

No problem Dave, glad they fit the bill, mate...Harry always has "just the right stuff"
How about sharing some images of your build when you get the chance?

Cheers,
