I found the Midwest Lobster Boat on eBay a while ago. While Midwest is long gone I built several of their RC airplanes years ago and liked their kits. This kit is probably still around on eBay or other sites if you have an interest in it. Some of the wood stock will likely need to be replaced due to aging. I was lucky in that most of the wood materials will still in good shape except for the balsa wood used on the boat’s sides and cabin. Not a big expense to replace. The color scheme was based on a lobster boat I saw in dock in Boston. There are many color variations to choose from on this type of boat. I enjoyed the build and the scale made it easy to work on. This boat can be constructed for RC use if desired. 6F29DF74-EF9A-4016-8248-DBD608D46ED1.jpegFF6213D2-9FE0-4E46-BE5B-F0BF5461A0E7.jpeg
 
Nice. I like the colors you selected for the deck and hull.
 
Can you take a few more pics of your Lobster boat to add? Maybe about 4 should do.
