St. Roch Arctic Patrol Boat (RCMP St. Roch)· B605

This Billing Boats 1:72 kit (B605/BB605) uses plank-on-frame construction with a laser-cut plywood keel and frames assembled as two half-hulls joined together, a technique the manufacturer's 600-series uses to simplify framing for less experienced builders. The box includes wooden planking strips, wooden deck and superstructure parts, brass and/or plastic fittings, masts and spars, rigging cord, full-size plan sheets, and multi-language instructions (English, French, German, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, and sometimes Italian/Portuguese); glue, paint, and tools are not included. It is rated an advanced-beginner/intermediate kit, finishes at roughly 47 cm (18.5 in) long, and is listed by Billing Boats as having R/C conversion potential (though builder-supplied electronics are required).
