I've had this model for 30 years and over that time I've seen very few now you all want one. The kit build is very easy and it lends itself to be super detailed. The kit seems to be vary rare item these days  but you may get lucky.

Stan - your boat is so authentic one feels that you could step aboard with the skippers permission. Incredible detail and finish. Very few fishermen have the time or inclination to keep their boats pristine - be a thankless task in any event and most of them would be too busy trying to make a living other than keeping essential bits in good order..........

Such a fantastic looking boat, the shape of the hull is just so pretty to me! Such a shame these kits aren't in production anymore!

Well after 30 plus years the power distribution board needed some attention. Old screw down blocks removed and far superior ones fitted should be good for the next 30 years. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))  Not sure I will be about then but you never know :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
