This RC kit is built around a ready-made plastic hull, which significantly shortens construction time compared to a full scratch build. The box includes a detailed multi-language (German/English/French/Spanish/Italian) instruction manual with building plans, the plastic hull, an additional plan for finishing the hull, a wood/plastic deck, rudder, wood and cardboard parts, and a propeller set with shafts and stern tubes. Detailed metal/plastic/wood fittings (portholes, anchors, capstans, boats, gun turrets, an Arado 196 aircraft, masts, cranes, railings, etc.) are sold as a separate fittings set. The hull's spaciousness allows installation of any multi-channel RC system, with drive via three individually motorized propellers or a single motor with gearbox. Listed by several retailers as a difficulty level 5/5 (expert) kit.
