Model boats

What are model boats?

Model boats are boats or ships made to scale. This means it is a miniature of the real thing. Most are boats that really exist or have existed, but there are also plenty of fictional variants. You buy such a boat in a kit and then you have to assemble it yourself.

There are static stand models, as well as sailing models that you can radio-control afterwards yourself. Warships, sailing ships and cruise ships are popular among modelers.
