What The Wooden Model Boat Company recommends to go with the The Wooden Model Boat Company Police Launch Kit 400mm
Description
The Wooden Model Boat Company Police Launch Kit 400mm, part number WBC1002, is a wooden model boat kit representing a modern police launch. It can be built as a two-channel radio-controlled model or as a static display boat, with the same core construction process for either approach. The design reflects launches used by MOD Marine Units for patrol work around naval bases and strategic waterfront locations.
The hull uses laser-cut balsa and plywood components with interlocking, semi-self-jigging frames to support assembly. The kit includes 3D-printed plastic scale details, a Perspex window sheet, deck magnets, a piano-wire handrail and a stand. Step-by-step instructions are provided, and the kit is listed at beginner experience level with a low parts count for straightforward construction.
For radio control, the launch is designed around a basic 280-size brushed motor and a two-channel control system. The completed model is listed at 410mm long, 120mm wide and 228mm high, with a stated weight of 570g. Its size makes it suitable for use on small ponds and lakes, while the finished boat can also be displayed at home when not being operated.
