Airfix A05281V1 72 Scale RAF Rescue Launch Model Kit

Airfix RAF Rescue Launch: Save the Day, Build the Legend! 1/72 Scale Model Kit.

Alright, picture this... This ain't just a thing, it's a vibe. A secret weapon. A conversation starter. It's got that "I woke up like this" kind of effortless cool. Maybe it's a touch of vintage, maybe a dash of futuristic. Either way, it's got soul. It whispers stories of backroads and neon lights, or maybe it's all about power moves and city sunsets. Doesn't matter. What matters is it's waiting to become *your* story. You in? Let's go.

During the Second World War, the danger of losing large numbers of aircrew forced to ditch in the seas around the British Isles was very real, resulting in the creation of the Royal Air Force Sea Rescue Service, operating under the motto ‘The sea shall not have them’. Using vessels designed by the British Powerboat Company and utilising racing boat technology, this service was all about speed, with the Type Two 63ft HSL ‘Whaleback’ being arguably their most distinctive craft. Powered by three 24ltr Napier Sea Lion engines, these boats must have sounded magnificent and it’s no wonder they were known as the ‘Spitfires of the sea’.
