Morning !
I'm planning to convert the 1/72 Airfix Vosper RAF rescue launch into an 1943/44 MGB (the ones used to encounter German S-boats). Unfortunately information/reference is limited or - if available - confusing. There must have been only a few thousands of variations and it is my second ship model at all.
I'll be kissing your feet for any good reference pics or technical drawings or data charts or any helpful information.
THX in advance
Frank

The best reference book is "Allied Coastal Forces, V.2", by John Lambert and Al Ross. Not inexpensive, but well worth the money. Lots of plans and photos. We stock the book here at White Ensign Models, and you can order via our secure website.

Thanks a lot John !
That seems to be exactly what I have been looking for, but it will be off limits until X-mas. S.h.i.t !
Thanks anyway,
Frank
