Now that's what I call a very simple design.
https://brickset.com/article/38998 <-- lol, just like the 6075 being picked a few days ago, being a repackaged set from a earlier RSOTD.
Does the job. Looks like a typical small boat, but uses only aircraft hull components and a standard windshield.
If I were to get this set, the first thing I'd build is a trailer. Boats these size kind of look out of place without one .
Ooh, I own this one. I cleaned it and dusted it, just on the weekend.
I thought that we could just repackage our comments from the last time it was rsotd, but 1997 was a completely different vintage from 1999. Justifies my first comment though!
It seems like the Paradisa girl sets on her final trip as the theme is coming to an end.
Don't worry, two years later she was RES-Qed.
And people complain about sets being expensive these days. This would have cost about £5 - for 22 pieces!
This was given out by a news paper as a promotion around 2001-2002 in Turkey. I got a few of these. One remains built. Others have been turned into spare parts. Maybe I should have kept one in box.
Cute boat but I prefer https://brickset.com/sets/4641-1/Speedboat
Oh, I have this one! Or one of the thousand of similar boats that were released at the time
