"Loyal"
Class NAVY FLEET TENDER
Kit contents:
1 piece fiberglass hull with molded on details, die-cut plastic
deck & superstructure components & an extensive fittings
kit that features rudder, propeller, dinghy, liferafts, nearly 400
cast metal fittings and much more.
The vessels of the LOYAL class were built by Holmes to a Royal Navy
design in the late 1970s for transporting stores, personnel and
to do a variety of jobs around the fleet. They have also been used
to train personnel for times of emergency, when they were known
as RNXS (Royal Navy Auxiliary Service). The fleet tenders were sold
out of Navy service and converted to dive support tenders, medical
relief vessels etc. (links to sites featuring converted Fleet Tenders:
www.amazonferry.com and www.mvfintry.com.)
The kit enables the model maker to build a model of any one of the
8 vessels of the LOYAL class, or with very slight modifications
any one of the 33 vessels of the A, B and X class tenders. The comprehensive
instructions and drawings make LOYAL a fairly simple project for
model makers with average building skills. The model performs and
looks superb on the water.
