Do you mean life boat or raft.
If you want a WWII life raft you will need to look for Carley Floats. or search patent no. us734118.
They where made in a variety of sizes, most where oval but there was also square and rectangular ones. If you find a good model one let me know I would like a couple.
They are by there nature very hard to make well in small sizes, as they are all rope, knots and nets!

Ah! Now I would think that a Walrus would not have a carley float but I imagine that you could find/make a rubber life raft a la RAF out of a bit of milliput or the like.
If the party being rescued is to be from a ship, I think you could actually find a dingy or row boat in that scale. I'll have a look at a few of my resources and see if I can find some thing.
