Reissued as part of the Airfix Vintage Classics line, this 1/72 scale kit recreates the RAF Rescue Launch used extensively during the Second World War. These fast, wooden-hulled vessels were operated by the RAF Marine Branch to save downed aircrew, providing a vital lifeline during missions over the English Channel and coastal waters. Known for their speed and reliability, they played a key role in ensuring the survival of countless airmen.
This classic model is produced from Airfix’s original moulds, combining nostalgic charm with historical accuracy. The kit includes finely detailed parts, authentic decal options, and the distinctive retro-style packaging that defines the Vintage Classics range. A great choice for maritime modellers and anyone with an interest in WWII RAF history.
