Youโve taken the old Lindbergh kit to museum scale! It was a high-water mark for them imho. No pun intended. The kit is a tough find these days as I had heard that the hull mold was accidentally broken then trashed and the rest of the kit went with it. Obviously a short sighted move by the Lindbergh folks. As a result it is becoming something of a โholy grailโ find for collectors and builders. I have an original pristine Chris Craft sales brochure for the whole line for 1959 that includes that boat. ๐. I will have to scan the pages for you guys if I can find where I tucked it away. ๐

Brightwork,
You inspired me to do something to display some of my boats. It's just a start, but I cleared off some less interesting stuff from a couple of bookshelves and went to my shed and literally "dusted off" some of my Harbor. Certainly not as beautiful as yours, but now I at least have a few of my boats to look at over the winter Dry Dock season. Thanks for the inspiration! Dave B PS Please ignore the mess around the bookshelves, it was a quick and dirty project, LOL ▲

I reckon you're right Roy๐ but with some 'modellers license'.
Especially at the stern - seems to be intended for only one shaft whereas the original had two. Stabilisers were also fitted to the hull. The embryonic superstructure looks about right though. Deans still do a kit, but it ain't cheap๐ค๐ค Cheers, Doug๐ ▲

The book is called: "CHRIS CRAFT The Essential Guide" by Jerry Conrad, Copyright 2002 by The Mariners' Museum. It's over 700 pages long and lists everything they built at the Main Division from 1922 to 1977 including their kit boats and sailboats. And they then devote an additional 275 pages to all of Chris Craft's subdivisions including the steel Roamer Hulls. Great Book.

My son is in Edinburgh today. Too bad it wasnโt when he was in the area for the event. He and my other son band will be back in UK early next year. Iโm trying to get the hobby shops n events for areas they will be in. Iโm still amazed at the Leeds hobby shops n events inventory. Nice job on this model. Iโll be looking for kits like that if they exist.
