Member Model – Hans V’s Tamar Class RNLI Lifeboat

Hans is “fully immersed” in completing this Model Slipways kit. This is his first build; all his other models have been bought complete, although one needed some remedial work.

         Hans has been impressed with the quality of the packaging, the parts and the instruction manual.

          The kit represents the first of the class, the RNLB Hayden Miller, ​which is stationed at Tenby in South Wales, UK.

          The Tamar class comprises 27 boats. Some of the class are launched down slipways, some are moored afloat. They are powered by two 1000hp Caterpillar C18 diesel engines, giving them a top speed of 25 knots.
