2. Inside the box... |
|
Well now that we have the kit, let me show what you get for your money.
The box is very heavy and
protects the kit very well - 10 -10. |
|
Of course the first thing you dig out is the hull.... and what a lovely
hull it is. 10 - 10.
Here's a few more detail photos..... |
|
There
are a few imperfection in the hull but this will act to the character to
the boat... Puffer were never perfect boats, even out of the show room!
|
|
Lots of other bits and pieces are packed in the hull including a very
heavy box of white metal fittings. Some other bits completely befuddled
me!...... |
|
There is this nice springy
coil of wire, some green felt... for the hatch or boat cover I guess.....
must check the materials listing. |
|
2 hanks of cord, 2 plastic tubes, a sweet wrapped in foil, short prop
shaft and a bag of real coal.......... "A sweet wrapped in foil?!?!?!" |
|
It's not a sweet.... dunno what it is, we'll find out in the fullness of
time.... I hope. |
|
This must be the funnel strangely made by WICKES DIY 34mm water pipe.
Hmmmm.... |
|
Looking at the box of white metal fittings now.... |
|
.... there an awful lot of
stuff in there... |
|
... including a rather short
prop shaft with plastic bearings 2-10!
Rudder 10 -10 &
Scale-ish prop 5- 10 |
|
The jolly boat is a nice moulding and will save a lot of work during the
build. 9- 10 |
|
This is the main
superstructure / cabin / work space thing, very substantial! 8-10. |
The wood looks good and there's lots of it. |
..Lots and lots of
wood ! |
You
also get a full size layout plan... |
|
..plans, an colour advertising flyer, a hand written complement stapled to
the receipt. |
|
The instruction book is quite impressive on first glance.... |
..
Good detail
drawings. |
With everything safely packed away let now have a look at the electrics. |
Well all this just my opinion, but what do I
know!
