This kit from Mantua is double-planked using two layers of sturdy limewood. Keel, bulkheads and decks are laser cut, and specifically designed to accommodate radio control equipment. High quality fittings include bulwarks and windows in photo-etched brass, rubber bumpers, turned wooden barrels, and operational anchor winch. Seven sheets of plans, based on original plans, provide typical layout for radio control. Stuffing box alignment to motor requires advanced modeling skills.

All wooden pieces are pre-cut. Wood, metal and brass fittings are ready to use. Kit is complete with running hardware, including prop shaft, propeller, stuffing box tubing for universal, prop nut and screw. Laser cut wooden bulkheads and birch plywood decking are over planked with individual mahogany strips for a smooth finish. Running surfaces are reinforced with steel plating.
