African Queen

The African Queen gave its name to a film starring the famous movie stars Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. The story takes place during the First World War, in which the African Queen, after a long and perilous voyage down the tributaries of the lake, attacks the German warship Königin Luise on Lake Victoria in Africa.

The kit from Billing Boats includes the thermoformed plastic hull as well as a detailed mock-up of a steam engine with a standing boiler. As a special highlight, this is driven by a second electric motor, which creates the illusion of a steam-powered model. Experienced modellers can perfect the impression by adding our steam engine sound module.

All wooden parts are precisely cut out with laser. A large building plan sheet, building instructions and other illustrations, as well as all the wooden, plastic and hardware parts needed for construction are included.

Billing Boats is a traditional model building company from Denmark with beautiful ship types from the North Sea, but also with famous classics such as the Calypso or African Queen. Mr. Billing himself invented the semi-hull construction method, in which two halves of the hull are first built flat on the building board and then assembled. The 600 series by Billing Boats is manufactured in this construction method, which is very suitable for beginners. In the last three years Billing Boats unfortunately had a very difficult phase, out of which the company is constantly and with great commitment of the Billing family working out again. However, at times longer delivery times or unexpected production bottlenecks must be expected, for which the family asks for understanding and patience.
 
Billing Boats also consistently uses laser technology to cut out the wooden parts and supplies beautiful fittings made of plastic and brass. The kits are always designed for quality at an affordable price.
