US COAST GUARD LIFEBOAT BECOMES A MOVIE STAR - AND GLENCOE HAS A 1:48 SCALE KIT TO MATCH

This 1:48 scale model lifeboat began as an ITC kit in 1959, and has been available from Glencoe for many years. Now the vessel has become a star in its own right, as it featured in the best selling 2009 book The Finest Hours, presently being made as a Disney movie of the same name.
