SLEC staat voor Sun Lane Engineering Company en was het geesteskind van John & Kath Roper.

Het werd voor het eerst opgericht in het midden van de jaren 70 en werd aanvankelijk gerund vanuit hun modelwinkel in Sun Lane Gravesend Kent. In de loop van de volgende jaren bouwde het bedrijf een groot assortiment populaire plastic modelleeraccessoires op die te vinden waren in modelwinkels door heel Europa en verschillende delen van de wereld.

In 1986 besloten de Roper’s met pensioen te gaan en werd SLEC aangeboden aan Balsacraft Ltd, een van de grootste fabrikanten van modelkits in Europa. Dit was volkomen logisch voor John Rudd, directeur van Balsacraft, aangezien hij het grootste deel van het SLEC-assortiment in zijn kits stopte. In 1987 werd SLEC onderdeel van Balsacraft Ltd. In 1996 ging John Rudd met pensioen en werd Balsacraft de productieafdeling van Ripmax Plc. De zaken gingen goed maar door de komst van de RTR kits uit het verre oosten was men toch genoodzaakt om de tent te sluiten.

In 2000 maakte SLEC Ltd een nieuwe start. De naam betekent nu absoluut niets, maar zoals het de afgelopen 25 jaar was geweest, is de naam bekend in de modellenwereld.

Crash TenderRAF Crash Tender

1/16" Scale 34.5"

This fine High Speed Vosper R.A.F. Crash Tender makes up into a magnificent model 34.5 in length with a beam of 10 in, thus providing a scale model of truly seaworthy proportions, ideal for radio control installation. Forward and central cabin tops lift off for access, as the rear cockpit floor. It is thus passable to have r/c installation and steering servo quite separate from the central cabin engine room.

The Vintage Model Boat range are now being produced by SLEC Ltd. All our kits come with all parts cut by CNC router or laser, plus all the necessary strip wood is included, along with building instructions and plan. Window overlays and screens included.

This kit has been modernized to make construction easy, full building instructions are included and comes with window overlays and screen. This kit has been designed for the discerning modeler that has previously built boats or model aircraft. The kit parts are cut using our laser cutting technology, that not only gives very accurate and precise cut parts, that fit together without any sanding but also details like planking on the decks and the cabin roof . The model can be powered by a 7.2 volts standard buggy battery pack or ic power of 2.5 - 3.5cc engines which is not in the kit, we have not included any running fittings as we feel a lot of modelers will have or would like to choose for themselves.
