Description
The Dumas Chris-Craft Continental Kit (1243) faithfully recreates the iconic 1956 23 ft runabout in 1:8 scale. Measuring 34 inches in length with a 12 inch beam, this classic wooden model boat kit blends lightweight construction with authentic detailing. Precision die-cut poplar plywood framing with balsa sub-planking is finished with rich mahogany and blonde basswood veneers for the quintessential two-tone look. Also referenced as part no. 5501784, it is designed for an impressive display or as a capable R/C build with additional equipment.
