Is anyone aware of a 'Model kit' of Hemingway's fishing boat 'Pilar', I was told some years back there was one. The only one I have seen is sold on ebay already manufactured for over $1200

Hi Louis,
Personally, I've not seen a kit of Hemingway's Pilar, my friend, only a few "museum crafted quality" pre-built models...this subject would make for quite a unique scratch-build though!

Now that's the spirit!

Seriously though, I'm on a quest to see if anything is available to help you out here, Louis...let's see what transpires!

Cheers,
