About this boat
I had a wish for some sort of nostalgic type of classic motor boat, had considered the beautiful Riva variants but settled for the Thames Slipper Launch the kit suited my pocket at the time and I had often admired the ones I had seen.
The kit ended up a present and was started at the beginning of 2022.
The kit looked and turned out to be straightforward with the laser cut parts very well made and easy to release. The build took about 3 months and had some changes from the instructions including planked deck, wooden seats and change of windscreen plus lots of pretty bits.
There is a Build Blog of this model on this Site.
In my view it is good value kit, not difficult to build and it looks lovely on the water or as a display model.
