Acerca de este barco

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.

    I have found some photos of Kingfisher on the water which would look lots better if she had a crew which I still haven't
    got.
    all the best ChrisG

    Sorry I have no still photos of her cruising but I am trying to work out how to post a short and not very good video of her on this website.
    I am sure it is possible but I need help, please.

    I had no idea this is THE kit. I saw it some time ago. Yours looks waaaaaay better. Those original chairs are absolutely horrid.
