Model boat kit
Mississippi
Kit by Occre
This kit represents a Mississippi river paddle steamer, the wooden passenger and freight boats that worked American rivers through the 19th century. Their flat, shallow hulls carried the boilers and engines on the main deck, with tiers of passenger cabins above and a pilot house on top.
Occre's 1:80 kit (ref. 14003) has about 1,702 parts and is rated at the Advanced level. The model is 740 mm long and 325 mm high, and Occre estimates about 650 hours to build it.
What building a Mississippi actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
