ORCA Fishing Boat
From the 1975 Blockbuster ‘JAWS’ Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley
The Orca features prominently in the film; the whole seconds half of the film is set on-board.
The boat is portrayed on-screen via a full-size, working boat. An inshore fishing boat, was heavily adapted by Production Designer Joe Alves to meet the story requirements and dramatic needs of the film.
This ‘What if.‘ Airfix box top assumes a 1/72nd scale kit. The Orca was approx 41 feet long so the kit would be 7 inches / 17cm long model. Airfix made an RNLI rescue boat as well as a WW2 era MTB and German E-Boat. It would be great to get figures of Brody, Hooper and Quint included to
