C is for Canoes - 11 - Dulcop

In the continuing checking of stuff for these posts, I found the blue one from the introductory post (which was in the Hong Kong folder) was actually the Dulcop one from Italy, so I've corrected there, and we'll have a quick look here!

Quite a nice model, but still - design-wise - the sort of thing you find for hire in aluminium or fibre-glass reinforced resin at the lake/riverside today! I think these are the correct figures too, and unpainted like this, they'll be from the later production which included the stuff contracted/imported by our own Plastic Warrior Magazine, but I don't know if they carried this piece.
 
Re-crewed with Timpo's chaps, no knife out this time, but I don't think axe-fishing is a particularly successful technique! As this is a brief post, Brian's river/lake surface is worth a moment's study, I don't know what the surface is, painted wood, Vinyl/PVC or some other sheet material, but I thought Tom's varnished floor-tile was also quite good the other day.
