Dumas Myrtle Corey Kit (1253)

Myrtle Corey – #1253

The Myrtle Corey is a fine example of a late 1800s river towboat. Typical of the day, these boats were site-built without plans, featuring many substitutions and jury-rigged construction. Once commonplace along the waters of the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers, the Dumas model of the Myrtle Corey is designed to bring that remarkable era back to life. This kit features a vacuum-formed hull and roofs. The substructure is made from Die cut expanded PVC, and there's a load of strip wood to provide the boat with its characteristic planked deck and cabin sides.

Everything in this kit is designed for detail and realism. We include castings, wood turnings, laser-cut parts, and more. Even the paddle wheel and rudder hardware are included. Add a Dumas #2029 motor and your electronics, and you're ready to go. So if you've been thinking about trying your hand at something a little different, take a look at the Myrtle Corey.

Figures shown on the model are not included with the kit.
