| Very large and highly detailed wooden boat kit for static or RC. In the 1960s Sterling produced a line of famous and now legendary wooden Chris Craft Yacht kits. The kits were known for their scale fidelity, excellent design, strength and quality materials including mahogany woods as used in the actual boats. This is the largest one of the series - the 'Holy Grail' of the line - the 63' Motor Yacht. Specifically designed for gas or electric radio control or for a wonderfully detailed static model. Includes full size plans, instructions, drawings and photos of the full interior if you wish to model it, die-cut balsa and hardwood with inter-notched and self-locking construction, numerous die-cut African Mahogany sheets including cabin sides, windshields, aft cabin bulkhead, rear catwalk, transom and more, die-cut Gabon Mahogany decks and side catwalks, poplar motor mounts, decals and flags, reed molding, plastic for cabin windows, Venetian blind material, metal oval and round portholes, aluminum deck hatches, material for canvas skirt, marine hardware and more. This kit has never been started and is complete. Inside, the contents are still factory packed and have not been removed from the box. No parts have been removed from the die-cut wood sheets, and the hardware bag is still factory sealed. Plans and instructions are near mint and the finest I have seen. The fittings set B11-F is in the original Sterling Box but it is a partial (incomplete) set. The following parts are complete: 6 prop shaft hangers, two props, two rudders, compass, triple vent and ships wheels. Partial parts include 4 of 6 eyebolts, 42 railing post bases (of 48), 2 cleats (of 6) and one exhaust (of 2). Life rings, etc are missing. |
