RCMP St Roch - Billing Boats Wooden Ship Kit B605 The St. Roch was built at the Burrard Dry Dock in North Vancouver in 1928, intended for sailing in Arctic waters. It was the first ship to sail through the North-West Passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In the summer of 1944 the St. Roch sailed from Halifax to Vancouver, thereby becoming the first ship to complete the journey in both directions.Kit includes laser cut wooden hull and wooden strips, fittings set, rigging thread, plan and manual.All of the 600 Series Model Boat Kits (item numbers 600-609) include an easier way of building the hull. The hull is assembled in halves, on a table. This allows for easier assembly and is quite useful in learning plank-on-frame or plank-on-bulkhead construction! Once each half is done you join the two for a completed hull. Make sure you work each half in opposite directions so that when joined they marry up evenly!Billing Boats Level: Advanced BeginnerSpecification: Length: 470mm Height: 325mm Width: 110mm Scale: 1:72 Laser cut Humbrol Paint Colours recommended for this model: 2 Emerald 19 Bright Red 21 Black 22 White 35 Clear Poly Varnish 47 Sea Blue 63 Matt Sand 133 Satin Brown 153 Insignia Red Visit our new arrowmodels website for more product information!
