The
Caldercraft Riverman is for those looking for something different that is easy to transport and a super performer on the water. To scale boat modellers who have not considered these vessels to be worthy of a place in their fleet it could provide a pleasant change and a challenge. These boats are to be found mainly on the river Thames towing strings of barges. Many had their wheelhouses built up in a permanent or semi-permanent fashion and would often have the crew bicycles, planks, oil, drums, ladders, cordage etc. littering their decks.
The
boat model has a two part moulded styrene hull with all round flange joint and a moulded stub funnel. All other parts are of die-cut ply complemented by a superb set of cast white metal fittings and the package is complete with drawings, instruction book, prop shaft and propeller, kort nozzle and all necessary wire, rod dowel, tube etc. to complete the model as illustrated. This model offers much scope to the builder who wishes to customise their model.
