Whilst I am waiting for some internal hull bonding to full cure, I have started on the interior. the kit does supply some vac moulded seats and some plastic tubing to form the basic seat frames,plus a base vac moulding of the main dashboard but thats as far as the kit goes The rest as they say "is up to you"!
So starting with the seats, a quick reference to the RNLI plans show that the seat bases are oversize and need cutting back, as the base is a tall as the seat backs, hardly comfortable to sit in. So cut the seats and reprofile the seat sides before proceeding.
Who said that anything was easy ??

| the basic seat bases shown here, now need a footrest adding and anti slip plates |

| view through cabin windows. |

| 1:16 scale figures, fully poseable arms and legs, should convert quite nicely, the fireman even has a hinged clear visor on the helmet, a few more alterations will make a decent RNLI replica style |
