Hello Dear fellow forum members, Having finished my Riva Aquarama and waiting for the days with better weather (read: summer) in Finland to take it to her maiden voyage in water, I have now switched my attention to building a model of a classical yet beautiful boat from my homeland, Turkey. Here are some bullet points about the kit: I am actually glad to notice that this model is not new to this forum. Here is a nice blog from an earlier build, by kutaykara: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/5571-bosphorus-sandal-by-kutaykara-finished-tershane-model-scale-116-1950-classic-turkish-boat/?hl=bosphorus I don't think that the kit is widely available worldwide. I ordered it from a Turkish model boat website www.maketistan.com. The price is a little bit less than USD.100. I actually built this kit about 10 years ago (see my signature) but this time I wanted to make it better and also have a blog of it. I had met the designer of the kit, Mr. Kudret Altinkeser, who is a pioneer dedicated his life to model boats, in his atelier in Istanbul. He has designed several other great kits from Turkey commercially available. The kit is 1:16 scale, 44,3cm x 11,8cm x 9cm in dimensions. Throughout the build I will try to give more facts about this nice boat as much as I can. Now some photos and start of the build, but first of all unboxing: This is outside the box Accessories, in their own set plastic bag: Wooden strips: Laser cut parts in plywood sheets: Instruction manual consists of 2 piles of stapled A4 sheets (Credits Kudret Altinkeser): One of them contains step by step instructions and the other one includes photos. Even though the instructions are only in Turkish, I believe the photos give enough guidance for any modeller with a moderate level of experience. That's all. Build starts with the next post.
