Blue Nose II Model Boat Kit – Premier Ship Models

At Premier Ship Models, we are proud to offer the Blue Nose II Model Boat Kit, a tribute to one of the most iconic ships in Canadian maritime history. The Blue Nose II is a beautifully crafted replica of the original Bluenose, a celebrated fishing and racing gaff-rig schooner. First launched in 1921 in Nova Scotia, Bluenose became a symbol of Canadian pride, capturing the hearts of many with its unmatched beauty and competitive spirit.

The original Bluenose, built by Smith and Rhuland in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was designed to be both a racing vessel and a commercial fishing ship. Under the skilled command of Captain Angus Walters, the Bluenose gained fame, winning numerous international races in the 1920s and 1930s. The vessel’s legacy endured even after it was wrecked in 1946. To honor its memory, the Bluenose II was constructed in 1963 as an exacting replica, carrying on the proud tradition of Nova Scotia’s maritime heritage.

The Blue Nose II Model Boat Kit brings this piece of history to life in exquisite detail. Our Billing Boats model kit is designed for both novice and experienced modelers, offering an exceptional building experience. The kit features precision laser-cut basswood for the keel, hull supports, and stern reinforcements, while thin, flexible basswood strips are used for the planking. The trim pieces are made of dark walnut, and the fittings include Britannia metal, brass, and hardwood parts, all true to scale. It also includes cotton sailcloth, rigging line, and the colorful Canadian flag for that authentic touch. The step-by-step illustrated instructions ensure a smooth build, whether you are a first-time builder or a seasoned expert.

The story of Billing Boats, the company behind the Blue Nose II kit, is one of innovation and passion. In the early 1950s, Mr. Ejnar Billing, a former RAF pilot, revolutionized the world of model boats by introducing the plank-on-frame method, now a standard in the industry. His idea came to fruition when he was asked to create model boats for a competition, leading to the creation of model boat kits as we know them today. Billing’s vision changed the way enthusiasts around the world experienced the craft of shipbuilding.
