Wooden model kit by Midwest of 1/12 scale Grand Banks Dory done in acrylics. Dories have been used in North America since the early 1700’s. Bank Dories are noted for their load carrying capabilities and have been used for both inshore and offshore fishing. This model represents the 12’ Dory, smallest length of the five standard classes.

This Midwest kit represents an 8’6” two man skiff. It is a 19th century Dory built design that is still in use today. The model is built out of wood and uses the same parts and construction methods as the full sized boat. The scale is 1/12 and was finished in acrylics.
