Dalmatian boats

The world of model boat kits has never seen a program like this until now. It is a set of the most famous Dalmatian boats used throughout the past. These boats, in an almost unchanged form, are still used today, but have been equipped with engines and upgraded cabins.

Among them, we chose two models:
Pasara 44,3cm, 17.44'', 1:14
and Gaeta 48,0CM, 18.90'', 1:14 .
They are a combination of frame construction and plank on bulkhead building.

The third is very important Falkusa 70,4cm, 27.72'', 1:20 is made on a mold for finishing hull fitted with frames and other elements.

All three models provide an extraordinary experience for all modelers who know how to cover a hull with a single layer of planks. When finished, they look exactly the same as the originals.

Trajta - fishing and cargo boat from Korčula 63,8cm, 25.12'', 1:20 is a model that perfectly connects the ship models from the beginner course level 2 and 3 and ship models whose construction is more demanding. It is ideal for embarking on, more advanced model building, while Batelina – a boat of the Croatian coast 34cm, 13.39'', 1:10 belongs to the program for beginners, Beginner set: Level 1 .
