Thanks for suggestion, but they atr only available in 12 scale

you could try Mac's mouldings, he does a very good selection on lifeboat windows, Ive just had a full set for the 1/12 scale Brede lifeboat.

Thanks for suggestions. Will try them and advise how I go on

Just a thought, not sure if it would work.
Cut a piece of ply wood to the size of the window, smooth the edges, glue to larger piece of wood. Get some very small plastic U shape from the model shop, soak in very hot water and then bend around the former with the open side to the board.

Going by what I can see of lifeboat windows you would then have to glue this piece to some thin plasticard and cut the profile, stainless dressmakers pins could be used for the bolts/rivet's or whatever they are. 😁

Might be worth a try, let me know if you have a go and it works out.

Hi
I had a Brede lifeboat and started to make the window. I cut some thin clear plastic of about 1mm thick using the window shape. The frames were cut from a printers metal sheet. The inside was finished about 2mm smaller than the window. I then cut out the outer frame, the outer measurement was the same as the plastic window and the inner edge to suit. These three parts were then carefully glued together and clamped. When the glue had set, I then smoothed off the edge of the window and painted with Humbrol buffable metallic paint.

I'm afraid my ability is not that good so when I saw a cast frame I opted for this. Anyway, I give you this idea which gave me weeks of thought!

Good Luck

Edward

Thank you, they look great. I try to make as much as I can myself so would prefer to do that.
If anybody has any experience of how best to tackle this would like to hear

I would suggest you have a look at the "Speedline Models" website, they produce a high quality windows kit suitable for the Tyne class Lifeboat.
