Looks similar to the one seen in the movie 'The Finest hours' (2016).

I'm in - didn't know you could de-bond CA!

Thanks for the likes, all!

@Treehugger - yes, the movie is based on a rescue in 1952 by CG36500 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Pendleton#Loss). The kit is not of that actual boat, but the same type (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeboat_(rescue)#36'_(foot)).

@Thomas - oh yes, it worked very well debonding the CA, I used 3/4 of a bottle to get rid if it all.

Thanks, Łukasz and Andy.

The waves are made from 2-3 layers of tissue paper and watered down PVA.
The base itself is XPS with balsa framing.

Uploaded some images of the finished project. Quite happy with. The pictures are not that great though, I'm no photographer, but they give an impression of what the end result is.

Album info

This kit is a kit that I assembled 25-30 years ago. With CA glue. I had no idea what I was doing. I found the kit in this state a few years ago. I decided I would challenge myself and see if I could disassemble it and then build it back up again.

I have had slow progress on this kit. I have shelved it a few times, but hopefully it will soon be finished.
