This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
The Crusader K6 is a trimaran-type speedboat equipped with a jet engine that was piloted by British racing boat driver John Cobb on September 29, 1952 in Loch Ness, Scotland, aiming for a water speed record. The engine was a de Havilland Ghost centrifugal compression turbojet, the same as de Havilland's Venom jet fighter. The water speed record is a dangerous achievement, with a very high accidental death rate for challengers; the Crusader V6's hull began to shake during the speed record attempt, and the tip plunged into the water at around 386km/hr, resulting in a tragic accident and the loss of Cobb's life.
This model kit from Mikro Mir comes with painting mask seals and decals, the engine inspection hatch is a separate part, and the Ghost engine is also fully reproduced. The inside of the cockpit is realistically detailed as well. Order yours today!
