"Members" Adverts

Adverts are in order of submission, newest first. Where a boat model is being offered for sale by an SRCMBC member there may well be more photos of it in our Photo Galleries - look under the seller's name.

This page was started back in September 2008, and since then we've had sales of boats, steam engines, workshop tools, historic magazines, RC gear, and much more. It's worth keeping an eye on these pages!

N.B. this is a free service offered for private (i.e. non-commercial) model boat related sales. Sellers: To place an Advert please read our Guidance on Advert submission. Advertisers are strongly encouraged to exploit other possible sales routes such as ebay and the Boat Yard:Marketplace/Sales/ category on ModelBoatMayhem forum (if you are a " Full Mayhemer").
