This Colin Archer wooden ship model kit from Billing Boats offered at Premier Ship Models is a great miniature replica of the original ship built in 1893. This is an experienced model kit so previous experience is recommended. Even if the kit is made of simple construction, there are number of challenges during the building process.
If you are unable to build the kit yourself for any reason, Premier Ship Models can assemble the ship model for you and dispatch it as a ready-made model. If you prefer building a simpler model, have a look at our Colin Archer beginner’s kit from Billing Boats. The uniqueness of this model also lies in the possibility of transforming the model ship into a radio control boat after remote control installation.
