To ride, fly, sail, everything is there at MHD!
The Motobattello de Venise model boat to build is a detailed reproduction of a famous vaporetto used on the Venetian canals.
This radio-controlled boat to build at a 1:28 scale faithfully captures the characteristic lines of these iconic transport boats.
Originally designed as a static model boat, this model can easily be converted into a radio-controlled sailing boat by integrating an optional motorization.
With a length of approximately 830 mm, it provides an ideal foundation for creating a realistic and functional radio-controlled model boat.

The structure is entirely made of wood with keel, frames, and planking, making it a true wooden boat model to build in the traditional way.
The parts are laser-cut to ensure precision and ease of assembly.
This design allows for building a detailed RC boat to assemble while keeping the assembly accessible to experienced modelers.
The deck, superstructures, and cabin elements faithfully reproduce the appearance of the original vaporetto.
The kit also includes numerous metal parts for fittings, as well as the propeller shaft, rudder, and brass elements necessary for a sailing version.
This configuration allows for easily transforming this radio-controlled boat model into a scaled-down sailing boat model. The provided decals allow for adding realistic markings of the Venetian boat.
Thanks to its large size and voluminous hull, this radio-controlled boat offers enough space to install radio, engine, and battery.
The 1:1 scale plans and detailed instructions facilitate the construction.
This remote-controlled model boat is thus an original model, ideal for enthusiasts of historical boats and traditional naval modeling.
