Creole Queen 48-inch Model Kit (DUM1222)

The Creole Queen Kit is a 48-inch model that captures the essence of classic riverboats reminiscent of the days of Mark Twain. Although designed to appear like an 1800s sternwheeler, this innovative model was actually constructed in 1983 for the New Orleans World Fair. Built with high-quality precision die-cut birch and mahogany plywood, the Creole Queen boasts a wealth of intricate details, including stampings, wood turnings, castings, and plastic parts, along with a comprehensive decal set. It is designed for those with a passion for model-building, offering opportunities for customization, including the option for unconventional powering methods such as live steam.

This kit includes a paddle wheel drive system with an internally reduced gear head motor, ensuring the perfect speed and performance. Modelers can enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of building a working model sternwheeler that is not only visually striking but functional as well.
