windows for 34" FIRE TENDER

If you ask Darrell at Kit shack models nicely, he can cut you a set of the window frames that they supply with their 34" fireboat kit for £10 including a sheet of plastic to glaze them. Also can do the same for their 46" version.

Not sure how close they are to the Aerokits window cut outs but just bought a set to try and they are nice job. I am wondering if his cutting set up could cope with the litho plate that I have just seen advertised on Ebay. That would be better still. They come fully cut but held in a sheet for postage by tiny little tags . Great job Darrell

windows for 34" FIRE TENDER

HI
I don't know if any ready made ones are still available. I made the ones on my 34" boat ( Pics on Page 5 of the 'Fireboat ' section of the Photo Gallery ) following the method used by Pete Harvey in his 46" Fireboat Restoration blog ( Pete Harvey Website in 'Links' ) Obviously I had to scale it down, but using white styrene strip and clear sheet it was a bit fiddly but fairly straightforward.
Good Luck
regards

Hi,
Are the windows still available for the 34' fire boat, I could not see them on the Waverley models web site, I am in the process of restoring the Aerokits boat.
Regards,
Steve.

windows for 34" FIRE TENDER

Hello, a newcomer here!, I have a rather old 34" Aerokits (I think)fire tender that I picked up off ebay. I noticed that someone on this site does plasticard windowframes and windows for this scale. Can anyone point me In the right direction? The boat now has a pair of 540 motors,twin screws and rudders, 30a esc 3700mah battery pack and 2ch radio. The battery pack does not last too long!!, but the performance Is quite respectable, jumps up onto the plane quite quickly.I am adding things bit by bit,dont expect a true scale model, but fun to sail..
