Lovely model of quite the nice old tank. HUGE. Can be made to roll quite easily with a little creative divergence from the instructions, so it's a good candidate for a 1/35th RC tank project. Comes with vinyl tracks that fit well without being too tight and link-and-length tracks if you enjoy fiddling with tiny plastic links all day.

Definitely worth the money, and if I were you I'd look into Trumpeter's other KV-series kits as well. They're all made on the same hull and all made to the same excellent standard.

A nice and fast little boat, with plenty of in details! I upgraded the battery and connectors in mine to a six-cell nimh pack, as I have several. The cabin lights are a nice effect, let's you know when it's turned on. However, it does turn very slow due to its differential method of steering, and the rear end can get swamped if you put it in reverse.

I bought this kayak two years ago at the end of the season. They only had one color lime green but I loved the large cockpit. I have an eighty pound dog who loves to be out on the water. I take her with me regularly. We are both comfortable in it. I admit that it handles better without her weight in the bow but I love to have her there. When I am alone in it I can really stretch out, carry camera equipment and it does handle better without her. It is very stable, easy to get in and out and fits easily inside my CRV with the back tied down. I can load it my self and carry it to the water. I am 76 years old and kayak almost every day in the warmer months. From  New Hampshire

My favourite ship (along with the Tie Interceptor) finally gets the scale it deserved!
What a beauty this ship is. No useless bells or whistles. Just what you need.
Now make sure you have enough space as it is massive!

The white box ensures a safe delivery. The packaging is a pure Vintage homage.

Keep your eyes peeled for Amazon price drops and you could score a great ship at a very low cost.

We have owned the Newport 10'6" for about 4 to 5 years now, we take it camping every month, every year from April thru Sept. The boat has been great. We managed to catch the boat twice while fishing, the repair was easy and durable, We found cleaning the boat with a magic eraser and using the 303 protectant keeps the boat looking like new. We use a 9.9hp Mercury on the boat, we added a StingRay Jr. to the cavitation plate, it was the best thing we did. Planes much quicker and stops the boat from the porpoising and cavitation. The boat was much faster and smoother at any speeds. The boat is really good looking and have other campers ask us about our boat. The solid floor is a must for stability and safety, the boat is a lot of fun.

This is the best boat you could buy! I bought this pair just to have a backup. I have about 8 pair that are all extremely good brand names for backpacking and I will no longer use them. I have hiked the JMT and AT in these and did not have one issue.

I've had my Yakka for about seven years, and used it on rivers and lakes across Ohio.  I have never considered it a white-water boat, but it has performed well in active water.  Its unique construction means that can't always be launched from 'typical' canoe/kayak sites, but for the space-challenged it is well worth the money and the time.  Over the years the only problem I've had is with the pump which inflates the gunwales and, although I have been unable to find the specific replacement part, I've been able to fashion a workaround.  A good boat, and I hope I can enjoy for for at least seven more years since it seems as if there is nothing around right now to replace it.

I am not going to write a lengthy review, I will add comments as I use it- comment on durability etc.

First trip out today- a darned good day. I was impressed with the boat all around. My 30 lb MinnKota was more than adequate for this small rig- a 55lb would be uneccessary.

If you are considering this boat- it is a solid bargain. And if you buy the motor mount spend the extra few dollars for the good composite mount- mine is bulletproof- very impressed with the combo.

I will edit if I have issues.

(Second trip yesterday- this boat is kich butt.. I dig it... I am a Bass Fisherman.. I am going to wear out the bass on un-fished waters with this fine small vessel)

OK, as of May 18 this boat kicks a__. I run a 30 lb Minn Kota which is plenty of power to fish. I reversed the head which allows me to pull along like a bass boat vs push along. I ordered an 18" drift sock which really improved the tracking abilty and slowed things down as the wind picks up. I must say- I had concerns about bass fishing from this platform- they have all been eliminated. I stand all day long (if I so choose) and the floor is plenty stable. Also I leave the inflatable seating in the car- the sides are plenty stable to sit on when needed- or all day as well. This boat is just absolutely phenominal- I really can't recommend it more- I absolutely love it. Thanks Intex and Amazon- this thing rocks! (BTW- I am very, very hard on my boats)

I believe Phil Bolger himself, who designed the boat, said it was his favorite design (out of hundreds of boats he built).  I have owned two of these boats for many years and they get a lot of use.  Both boats were built using this book and the plans, which, yes, you must purchase separately. I can't say enough about the Gloucester Light ...a trusty, seaworthy, responsive craft.  Don't worry about the plywood construction.  Pay attention to the instructions while building, protect the boat when not in use and paint it up occasionally ...and this boat will last a long time and carry you safely  on the water.

Despite its mere 48 page size this book does an extraordinary job at providing an introduction to this vehicle. It starts by giving a history as to why, exactly, this vehicle was developed to begin with, its evolution from the drawing boards through its various models and weaknesses and strengths in terms of performance. It also includes English translation of the relevant sections of the German technical/training manual for crews of this vehicle that give a very good feel for what each crewmen was supposed to do in terms of his duty. It does all of the above exclusively through the use of PRIMARY research (i.e., original German sources) as opposed to have to use any secondary sources (in English or any other language). This is what gives this book its trully unique element. Even the majority of photographs were taken by the authors. The photographs, taken at a variety of museums worldwide, show not only various angles of the vehicle along with different variants, but also have excellent interior shots. They also provide good coverage of very minor details (i.e., development of placement of loops for towing vehicle, etc.) Excellent reference or model builders or those very curious about this vehicle.

With respect to color plates has many camoflauge schemes hence for model builders an excellent reference. All plates based on real vehicles currently at museums worldwide. Very very well researched. There are also a few photos of the vehicle being built, tested and in prototype (including wooden mock-ups). The only weakness of the book is that it has no photos/illustrates of the vehicle at the front or in combat (as another reviewer has already pointed out).

All and all an excellent introduction to this vehicle for a 48 page book that should require a mere hour or so to read. It does a better job than many books two to three times its length. One of Osprey's best "New Vanguard" series.

this is the best truck i have ever owned. i have owned all of the large competitors to this as well, the TD DESC210, SC10, Slash, and none of them compare to this one. the handling is superb out of the box. the tires are good and the esc and motor are surprisingly strong and quick and pretty smooth.

i would recommend a chassis cover only to protect it from scratches since the chassis is metal, but it is not certainly not required. Only complaint i had was the battery tie down, and i updated that to the 2.0 version for less than 20 dollars

I have 2 of these one black and this one for my kids for Christmas.  These are great boats for speed but they do have one minor issue and that is the the left turn.  It makes great right turns (once it gets to speed).  Its left turns are a little sluggish, again once its up to speed (and in a big body of water) not an big issue.

The other issue I have and its not their issue its a research issue and I wanted anyone reading this to know you do need a very large body of water. I have an in ground pool 41' feet Long x 21 feet Wide which is pretty big, and I have run other boats in it with no issue but, these boats are so fast that I cant get them going, though when I take them out to a lake all is well.  Just figured I would let every know

This is a great little boat that has a large number of the features of bass boats many times its cost.  The structure of the boat itself appears to be very sound, rugged and functional.  While barely more than 11 feet in length, it provides a nice scaled-down platform for fishing, and - with its shallow draft - is particularly capable of handling shallow waters.  The surfaces of the deck and the numerous hold lids are all nicely covered with outdoor carpeting.  A battery storage compartment is wired to bow and stern motor mounts as well as bow navigation lights and the aerator.  The seats and a few other features of the boat are not as large or as solid as might be expected for full-sized boats, but all-in-all, this is a very nice, well-equipped little watercraft!

This is a great Commercial quality boat with vinyl laminated construction at a great price. The mariner also has the same construction, Check the intex website before buying on Amazon. Most of the time the descriptions are not correct. Beware of the seahawk 2 is not the same and is a much cheaper constructed boat with the same description and a video that shows this boat at 1/2 the price. This boat is highly recommended.

This is easily the largest Enterprise I have ever had! I can't wait to build it and put it in its proper place as the centerpiece of my Trek Collection!

My husband and I have taken this boat out on a couple of inland lakes. We take our dog in it with no problem. His nails definitely won't puncture the material. He even stands on the inflatable edge of the boat (see pic) with no problem. It comes with a hand pump but we opted to buy a DC pump because it can get it inflated and ready to go within 10 minutes. The flooring is very sturdy and allows you stand up while in the water; however, the flooring also does add weight. My husband and I manage to carry this boat from the car to the launching dock. It would be difficult to do as one person. It came with a flimsy storage bag which was difficult to use. We ended up buying a big rubbermaid container with wheels to help us store it and transport it from the home to the car. The oars are securely locked using the built-in mechanism and they unsnap for easier storage. It also comes with inflatable seats, gear bags (not that great), and a fishing pole holder. All in all, very happy with this purchase. Allows us to enjoy boating with little financial investment.
