Thanks for the info regarding this project, at present it's been constructed as a static model but with a bit of careful consideration I'm hoping to turn it into rc. Just depends on what glue was originally used and if it comes apart. I will be sure to start a build blog as and when.

It looks like an heirloom with lots of history behind it.
Do your best to restore it, it’s worth it.😎 ▲

Hi Doogle. Are you planning to repaint or leave as is? if you want to preserve the colors you might look at Tamiya's semi-gloss or gloss synthetic lacquers. They're a little pricey, but work well, and I've sprayed over enamel and acrylic with no ill effects. Always test on a small spot first though.

My stepson has been moving recently and in the process ended up damaging this fishing vessel that a great uncle of his ( long deceased) made for him when he was a lad 👦.
I was given this on Christmas day when he came over to see if I can do anything with it.
Initial inspection is that this was primarily a plastic kit, vacuum hull and wooden fittings, deck house etc. No idea who the manufacturer is/was. Will have to put this on the "production line" till I get the time to work on it

Hello Doogle,
With these pictures you reminded me that there are still some boats in my cellar waiting to be resurrected. . As my sons are more into motorbikes and cars, something like yours can't happen to me! But Grandpa Michel-C. is in full swing and is working on his paddle steamer! Good restoration, hope your stepson will appreciate it too. 😊😊😊 Your Michel-C. ▲

Hi Doogle, it looks like the model is worth working on.
Surely in your hands an improved and more beautiful model will emerge. ▲
