You'll be painting it and putting on the lettering and numbering. You need to acquire some decals in the right font and size.
Does this help?

What choices does the kit provide?
I recently bought the older (and not so good) Severn Class lifeboat kit and it comes with individual letters to allow all the Severns that were in service around 2006-08 to be depicted.
What is missing are all the individual name plates for each boat.

Reading the 'rumourmonger' subforum on Britmodeller, it sounds like Airfix might bring out an additional decal sheet containing all the alternative names & numbers. If Airfix don't then someone likely will, as there seems to be quite a demand...
ooh now that would be good.Waits with baited breath.

Do you have an inkjet printer?
You can print your own decals...but you'll need to be reasonably nifty with Photoshop or similar.

(Assuming you can't get numbers etc in the same font/right size, as matching colours is tricky).
At first I thought it was a shame it was only a starter/beginner's set, and so won't have as much detail as the "full" sets. On second thoughts though, it makes them much more accessible, and I imagine every RNLI gift shop will be selling them. Ideal for holidaymakers on wet days!
Hopefully the paints you get aren't the colours advertised on the packaging![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
