A wood scale model of a steam-powered fantail launch, built from die-cut basswood, balsa, mahogany, and plywood parts. The kit includes full-size plans, a 20-page illustrated instruction manual, a complete fittings set (metal display prop, cleat, brass rudder shaft, American flag and flag cordage), running hardware (stuffing box, propeller shaft, three-bladed propeller and tubing), and a display stand, allowing it to be built as a static model or converted to radio control. It does not include the Model VI/Heritage steam engine or R/C radio gear, which must be purchased separately to run it under live steam power.
