Schaarhorn Model Kit by Caldercraft, 1/35 Scale
The Caldercraft 1/35 Scale Schaarhorn Model Kit is designed for model boat enthusiasts who value historical authenticity and refined craftsmanship. This kit recreates Hamburg’s famous state yacht, first launched in 1908 and carefully restored in the 1990s, using original shipyard drawings and updated photographs for accuracy.
Every aspect of this model is crafted for realism and builder satisfaction. The hull is made from detailed GRP moulding, complemented by a CNC-cut plywood deck and superstructure. Over 800 cast white metal fittings are included, and the kit features etched brass details for the ship’s name, window frames, and door fittings. Twin propeller shafts and scale propellers enhance the authenticity, making it suitable for display or radio-control conversion. Schaarhorn’s legacy as a preserved pleasure cruiser is reflected in every element of this project.
