The 3 whaleback ASRs
« on: 08 May 2020, 07:32:04 »
Hello, I have a question about the 3 whaleback ASRs

Could someone please explain to me how 3 boats pretty much the same have 3 different prices?
What are the differences between them that effect the price like this.

Air Sea Rescue launch “128” is £224.38
ASR 63’ is £189.86
and Whaleback 63’ is £186.64

Many thanks!
Ben

Hi
 ASR 128 is twins screw boat.laser cut parts, latest spec kit.
the 63 ft are older kits with single screw and different fittings in each hence the small price difference

That’s great, thanks for that Ron.
I have always liked the look of them and built an Airfix one a few decades ago.
One of them is looking likely for my next build once I have finished Cossack and the Revell Flower.

I like the twin screw, laser cut idea but ASR 63’ looks the most like the Airfix one. Thinking time!
