Model Expo/Nauticurso Pesqueiro 1:32 Scale

Artur is one of the most popular fishing vessels among Brazilian fishermen, and many are still active in Brazilian waters today.

During my research, I discovered that similar vessels were also used in countries such as Russia, Norway, and Switzerland.
This type of boat even played a role in WWII, carrying ammunition for the French resistance in the fight against Hitler.
The Nauticurso kit has gone through several upgrades over the years. The version I built was their earliest release, so after doing some research, I decided to replace—or scratch-build—many of the components myself.
The kit includes all the running hardware needed for full radio-control operation. Model Shipways, Inc. carefully translates the manual into English and provides a photo-rich, step-by-step assembly guide.

All parts are laser-cut from Amazonian hardwood.
Length: 22"
Scale: 1:32
This kit is guaranteed to bring plenty of fun and a good challenge for both beginners and experienced builders.
Maybe some of you know even more about this vessel than I do.
In the last picture, you can see the little photo setup I use for shooting my models. 😎
