Diving boat, 1/40 starter kit by Soclaine

Diving boat, 1/40 starter kit

This model is not intended for sailing or radio control.

The kit comes in a transparent blister pack, with full instructions, a sketch identifying the parts, and photos of assembly in progress. The four planks of 3 mm plywood are entirely water-jet cut.

The kit requires very little material to build.

It's aimed at young modellers, and can be assembled in around ten hours.

While retaining the spirit of the kit, it offers a first approach to model-building that will inspire a passion for model-building that will evolve into more complex kits.
