Dumas Trojan Cabin Cruiser Wooden Boat Kit

This is a all wood build from scratch kit. Once completed and the time is taken to build this boat it is a beautiful work of art.. Not sure what the complaints are about. As it's all their and it's all wood it's all in the builder not what's in the box but what you build that's in that box! Great price thanks Amazon!!!!!

Still working on it.

The kit is a true build from scratch kit. If you are in a hurry to build this , move on to another kit, This is one that takes a lot of time but it will be worth it in in end, the detail and finish is what its all about. The instructions and a little hard to follow, but if you are havng problems the Dumas hobby people are very helpful on the phone, DONT try e-mail if you have a question, the interrpretion will get lost. If you go on the internet, there a lot of rc hobby forms you can get pics and info from.All in all a good kit but take your time and enjoy..

not what i expected sent back

This is not worth the price. The parts included are cheap, basically include some thin metal wrap for the railing. The "window" material is a roll of plastic. If you want to make this look nice you will have to custom make your own or buy additional quality made parts.The instructions are cryptic at best. We got it built but you can not count on the instructions to complete this. The instructions refer to a part #29 but there is not a part labeled in the entire kit with this number or any instruction how you should build the part (The instructions have you build several parts from scratch).Don't buy this!

I don't know if i'll ever finish this kit or not but WOW! It's huge, has tons of parts and allows you to create a custom look if you want. There is a little curve when going from RC cars to boats but i'm getting the hang of it. I have not found a better deal then amazon offers for this boat! This would make an excellent gift!

I built this exact kit When I was 14 years old In the end my father helped me put a very fin fiberglass resin coating on the hull And we did the entire upper structure with polar white epoxy paint We built it with twin electric motors and remote control and it was quick enough to chase ducks with at the local park ponds I might just build it again

Not one of the better kits I have built.
