Well, I finally bought the 'Kim'. The little yacht is cute, but it suffered a tad in the repacking by the saleslady. I straightened the mast and bowsprit and put the flag back where it belonged. A perusal of the model, recalling the pictures of others and the one at another store, revealed that mine has a very light brown (dark beige) cabin. This model was put on display a month or so back, so the paint hadn't faded from the fluorescent lamp's UV output in the mall store where I bought it. It is the 105S model - and the case is a bit smaller than the 'Lori', which is smaller than the lightship's cases. I couldn't make room for it on the same shelf as the others - it now graces a higher shelf.

I am pleased with this model - now all I need is the 'Columbia' lightship... Has anyone seen a 'cheap' one??
