Description

Discover the beautiful The Indian Girl Canoe, new model for 2024 and made of wood of the typical boat of Western and American Indian films.

The Indian canoe was designed by J.H. Rushton, America's leading canoe builder, for the burgeoning pleasure paddler market, which introduced the Indian Girl model in 1902. To quote Mr. Rushton: "The Indian Girl is strong, light, safe yet fast, graceful yet seaworthy." This design from the beginning of the last century lives up to its name.

It is interesting to know that Rushton hired M. Roundry services from the B.N. Morris Canoe Company in Maine to build the Indian Girl. Roundry had the expertise to build quality wood and canvas canoes that Rushton did not. In the 1910s and 1920s, the Indian Girl model became extremely popular and became Rushton's best-selling canoe.

The naval modelling kit with the model contains all the parts you need to build the faithful miniature replica. It is made up of six wooden sheets with different thicknesses and cut by high precision laser to be able to extract the parts without any problem (plywood and hardwood), and a brass photo-etched sheet for decorative details. In addition, it comes with linden and cherry wood strips, round tube and rod in brass, cotton threads in different thicknesses and colours - black and ecru - and fabric for the seats. As a bonus gift, wooden exhibition base to assemble with the name plate of the boat.

Once built, the model measures 12.04'' (306 mm) length, 2.32'' (59 mm) height and 1.57'' (40 mm) width.
