The little fishing boat from the harbor, wheelhouse and all, in light wood.
No sails here, just a fishing boat like the ones you see in any harbor: planked hull, clear deck, a wheelhouse with portholes, life rings and a mast gantry at the stern. Everything is laser-cut from light wood left natural, and the boat is finished on its base.
A wooden model boat kit with no rigging to build
It's the most straightforward of our boats: the hull goes together on its frames, the planks cover it, then you add the deck and the wheelhouse. The details do the rest, and there are plenty of them for such a small model: portholes, life rings, a funnel, a winch, hatch covers. With no sails or lines, the build moves along quickly.
Who is it for? For anyone who prefers working boats to sailboats, and for a first ship modeling kit without the patience rigging requires.

Your questions about the Nax Fishing Boat
Your questions about this kit
Do I need glue?
Use regular wood glue (not included): on a planked hull, it guarantees a sturdy boat. Our guide to glue for wooden model kits helps you pick the right one.
Is it a good kit to start with?
Yes: with no sails or rigging, it's the quickest of our boats. Our guide how to build a model kit shows you the right moves.
Do I need to paint it?
No, the light wood looks great as is. You can varnish it if you want to protect it.
