Big Swamp Buggy 31" Wooden Model Kit (DUM1505)
The Big Swamp Buggy 31-Inch Wooden Amphibious Model Kit is a dual‑purpose RC project designed for hobbyists who love both model boats and model airplanes. Built from mahogany and birch plywood, this sturdy kit creates an amphibious craft that can glide across water and onto shore, echoing the full‑size swamp buggies of the Everglades. The kit is straightforward to assemble and built to last; running hardware isn’t included, so the engine and mounting hardware are supplied separately or sourced by the builder.
Measuring 31 inches long with a 17‑1/2 inch beam, the Big Swamp Buggy is designed for a .40–.60 size gas airplane engine. A two-channel radio is required to control throttle and steering. Engine and running hardware are not included; builders install a suitable gas engine and operate it the same way as a model airplane, making this an engaging, hands‑on project for amphibious RC enthusiasts.
