Model boat kit

Maine Lobster Boat

Kit by Midwest

The Maine lobster boat developed after the First World War, once reliable gasoline engines replaced sail and older types such as the Friendship sloop.

The 3/4 inch scale kit (No. 991) uses laser-cut basswood and mahogany parts with cast metal fittings and includes materials for two lobster traps. It is designed for display, and an RC combo pack is sold separately.
