SeaChaser 23LX Center Console Boat Model kit 1-24 scale display

Sea Chaser 23LX Center console fishing boat display model kit.  1-24 scale approx 315mm end to end assembled. (slightly above 12")   Hard top variation with Suzuki outboard This Model boat is available as a kit or partially assembled.   Plz read description. This Model is printed in high quality ABS-like resin. This highly detailed resin model may have slight imperfections from the printing process. Resin printing requires supports to hold the model in place while printing. These supports leave scars on the face of the model that can be scraped or sanded off easily. (Resin sands very well) I do my absolute best to limit these supports to the bottom of the model but that is not always possible. While inspecting the prints I remove the supports and do a fair amount of cleanup but I leave the bulk of the body work to you, the experts.  Listed photos are of actual prints and stand as an example of what you can expect. *****Unassembled kit includes 7 pieces in total.  2 piece hull, T-top and console, Outboard engine, Leaning post, Engine rigging hose, and Stand.   This Kit requires mating the hull together.  The Hull connection is Keyed for the best fit possible but the supports required for printing makes these surfaces less than flat.  It does take some sculpting and  floating to achieve a completely hidden seam.  This is a service I can provide in the Partially assembled kit. *****Partially assembled kit includes the same pieces as unassembled kit but I spend a lot of time processing the hull as well as the rest of the parts. I mate the 2 hull pieces together and fill all vent holes ON ALL PARTS using the same resin its printed with. It will still require basic finishing and prep before painting but this gives you a big head start and the convenience of the filler/adhesive having the same material characteristics as the model.  You will evidence of sanding. This is a very high end resin print and I treat them as such. Models with this level of detail require even more supports and processing than normal due to the high level of intricacy.  The large parts are hollowed and will have vent holes for resin drainage and internal curing. Due to required print orientation the hull pieces will not have a perfectly flat mating surface. This model is printed in pieces due to the size and I offer the service of mating the hull pieces together with the same resin it is printed with.  This provides the highest level of surface consistency when finishing and will sand and paint as if there was never a seam. Leaning post, T-top/Console, and outboard are printed separately and shipped unattached to hull for ease of                 painting.  All components are pinned/slotted for a precise fit to hull. Vehicle Models are supplied unpainted and It will be printed to order, allow 5 days for production. Model does not require paint and will hold up fine unfinished in a climate controlled dry area.  Direct exposure to            UV will discolor model and exposure to excessive heat will deform model. Any paint suited for plastic will work well with ABS-Like resin using standard painting process.  ABS-Like resin is not suited for use in water without some type of sealer.
