RAF HSL

Album image #1
Open fire, lads! Spots the lights in the wheelhouse. (Those gun positions, like the shrapnel padding and the big gun on the aft deck, were all added later in WWII, along with the more muted colour scheme, because the Luftwaffe kept shooting at our *Rescue 
 

Album image #2
RAF Air Sea Rescue High Speed Launch, with a few extra bits (additional Carley float, couple of extra liferings, rigging and anchor line, and, most importantly: LEDs and Fibre Optics!) 
 

Album image #3
Nice bit of resin and brass on that Carley Float: you can see through the grid deck to the second one below it. 
 

Album image #4
Front-ish view 
 

Album image #5
Green starboard light on this side of the wheelhouse - it's a fibre optic strand running up from the LEDs which are all in the hull, and are heatshrunk onto the ends of the fibres. 
 

Album image #6
Stern gear!

Thank you 🙂
Enjoyed it - did the Airfix Motor Torpedo Boat a year or two ago, and that was good fun too.
