The large number of perspective assembly drawings and full-size plan make Al Khubar a fairly simple project for average modelling skills. With twin propellers and Kort nozzles the model is highly manoeuvrable and ideal for RC steering.

Kit Contents A detailed glassfibre hull with running gear (propshafts, rudders, Kort Nozzles and propellers); CNC-machined and printed plastic styrene for decks and superstructure to ensure accurate fit of parts; a detailed wheelhouse interior; a set of cast alloy fittings, rubber tyres and fendering; tube, wire, rod, model names etc. Instructions with numerous step-by-step assembly drawings together with a main plan. (Paints and adhesives are not provided. Tools and equipment will be required to complete). Kit recommended for model makers with a little experience.
