It uses plank-on-frame construction with laser-cut plywood keel and frames, a wooden deck and superstructure, and brass and plastic fittings. Plans and building instructions guide the 36 × 28 × 11 cm display model. Andrea Gail was a real commercial fishing vessel whose loss became the subject of The Perfect Storm.

Model Steam rates this Intermediate model kit. Planking the hull and aligning the deckhouse and small fishing-boat fittings involve several dependent stages and careful fitting. Our wood model kits guide offers other projects using the same main material.

Choose this for someone who enjoys the boat itself as well as the making process. Compare boat models or sailing ship models for alternative subjects, and allow enough room to handle the model safely during assembly and on display.
