Hi folks, I've been away for a bit, moving from Ontario to New Brunswick...

but I've cast my nets at the largest flea market in Canada (Sussex NB) to
find a "Japanese Fishing Boat" from CP, kit # 1106, no date, no patent, no
scale.... and I have never heard of this company nor the ship it has
modeled... (appears to be a smallish tuna boat referred to as a clipper type
?)...

has anyone come across the company or the boat ?

cheers

Carzol was a Canadan company which released ex-Pyro kts in Canada.

Sounds lke you may have the 1/96 scale Russian Fishing Trawler or North
Atlantic Fishing Trawler, which may be the same kit.

Value about $15-20.

I checked the Pyro ship listing in my old Burns guide (5th issue), and
found Pyro #374 'Japanese Fishing Boat', no scale listed, 8-12 dollars.

Carzol isn't listed in Burns' ships section at all, so it could be a rare
kit.

It's in the 7th Edition, pg.280. The America's Cup Racer is mentioned
with a request for further information on which Pyro kits they released
under the Carzol label.

I wonder if the Russian, Atlantic and Japanese fishing trawlers are the
same kit or different molds?
