Crusader K6 - Jet Powered Boat (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store

This item is limited to 3 per household.

- Introducing a completely new mold 1/35 Crusader K6 speed boat injection plastic kit from Micromill in Ukraine.

- The Crusader K6 is a trimaran-type speedboat equipped with a jet engine that was piloted by British racing boat driver John Cobb on September 29, 1952 in Loch Ness, Scotland, aiming for a water speed record.
- The engine installed was the de Havilland Ghost centrifugal compression turbojet, the same as the de Havilland Venom jet fighter.
- The water speed record is a dangerous record with a very high accidental death rate for challengers, and the Crusader K6's hull began to shake during the speed record attempt, and the tip plunged into the water at around 386 km/h, causing Cobb to be knocked out of the water. I had a tragic accident where I was hit by the water and died.
- The kit comes with painted mask seals and decals, the engine inspection hatch is a separate part, and the ghost engine is also reproduced.
- The inside of the cockpit is also realistically reproduced.
- The total length will be approximately 269mm when completed.
