About the Item

An impressive large-scale handcrafted model of the Meccanaval "Wandera" Diesel Yacht, built from the original Meccanaval/MRB plans during the 1960s. Measuring approximately 150 cm (59 in.) in length, this museum-quality model features remarkable craftsmanship and an exceptional level of detail throughout. The yacht displays finely executed superstructures, glazed portholes, lifeboats, deck equipment, signal flags, crew figures, railings, propeller and rudder, all mounted on its original wooden display cradle. A particularly desirable aspect of this example is that it is accompanied by its complete original Meccanaval construction plans, instruction sheets, and an original period photograph documenting the model shortly after completion, providing excellent provenance. The model has developed an attractive age patina while remaining in very good vintage condition. Minor age-related wear is limited to a few slightly creased signal flags and some rigging that could be tensioned if desired. An exceptional decorative object for a library, yacht club, collector's interior, or maritime-inspired residence.
