Eduard 653013 Carley float for 40 people – Type 1 PRINT 1/350

Eduard 653013 Carley float for 40 people – Type 1 PRINT 1/350 is a high-quality model kit featuring a set of Carley-type life rafts designed for installation on ship models in the extremely popular 1/350 scale. The manufacturer, Czech company Eduard, has used modern direct 3D printing technology, allowing for exceptionally precise details and faithfully replicated elements that are true to the real-life life rafts used on warships.

This set is intended for modelers building replicas of vessels from the first half of the 20th century, mainly from the World War II era. Carley floats were a universal piece of equipment on most Allied navy ships, including those of the United Kingdom and the United States. They were used as a primary lifesaving device—found on ships such as Liberty Ships, battleships, and destroyers. Their distinctive oval shape and specific construction made them extremely resistant to damage, and each could accommodate up to 40 castaways at once. Used from World War I through the postwar years, they have become a permanent fixture in naval history.
