T
he Deluxe 54" E.M. White guide canoe model is our mid-sized canoe kit by CanoeModelKits. This is our top of the line canoe model kit which has everything. Some say it is a little easier to build than the smaller kits, since everything is larger. As with all the canoe kits, the CNC (computer) cut frames have the centers removed to facilitate using the 4" Harbor Freight slide clamps to hold the strips in place as the glue dries. But any other clamp can be used. This has been a huge improvement over the old method of using brads and pins. More detail has been  added through out. All of the toe rails, dress strips, deck caps, seat frames and thwarts are all the rich Western Red Cedar. Beautiful color against the pine wood strip hull. Then there is the real seat caning material for life like seats. A pliable 100% soft copper half round for the bow and stern guards, wood laminates for the stem and stern stems, and white pine ribbing really makes it stand out. We have a photo gallery of the many happy customers displaying their pride and joy, all boasting that "I made this". This size canoe model also can be turned into a beautiful and very useful overhead light with the addition of a the "chandelier light kit". The kit also comes with a simple but nice wall mount and a life like scale paddle kit, which you glue together and either design your own paddle or use our included template.  Full step by step assembly DVD explaining tools and steps in great detail. A great mid size model finishing out at 54" long, 10" wide and about 5.5" deep, end to end.  Start building yours today! Reasonably priced.
