    A good day Michel C
    I Made the Graupner Commodore when i was much younger. I once got a request on another modelboat sight for a man who recieved this model but got no plans So i sent Jim mine. The big diffΓ©rence with thΓ© barracuda is the seize and the quality if thΓ© Wood bringue used. I can’t remembre any more thΓ© layers if varnish i havΓ© put on. It’s similar to what they call Chinese lack

    Salut Herman,
    This model is similar to the Commadore from Graupner . The company France marquette still exists, but in fact, after a long search, they no longer offer it.
    Well then, restore this good piece. It will certainly look great!
    Good luck!

    Looks really good Herman.. At 48 inches with matching beam it is a very sizeable boat which will look very realistic on the water.

    I have seen a number of similar designs over the years it all were smaller. Enjoy.
