Old Modern Handicrafts Riva Aquarama RC Ready Model Airplane

The Riva Aquarama was designed by Carlo Riva in the 1960s. The Riva is noted as one of the most legendary and famous speedboats out there. Now you can recreate this stunning Riva Aquarama by installing RC system for this model. Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. This is truly beautiful model of the Riva Aquarama with western red cedar and mahogany hull. The hull is encapsulated in one layer of fiberglass from both inside and outside for extra reinforcement and water proof. Under the rear seats, there is plenty of space for installing RC system. There are multiple tones of wood decking on the bow. You can find exquisite details from the leather works to all the realistic gauges. All fittings such as windshield frame, wiper, navigation lights, mirror, and flag pole are made of stainless steel. The cockpit has two hand stitched individual leather seats as well as a rear passenger seat. The swimming platform also comes with stainless steel hand rails. The model rests on a wooden stand when it's not in use.Specifications Finish: Brown Collection: Riva Country of Origin: Viet Nam Material: Wood, Metal, Fabric, Leather Weight: 15 lbs
