What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives conflicting ship dimensions: the specifications state 25.4 x 25.4 x 25.4 centimetres, while promotional text gives 16.5 cm high, 34.5 cm long and 9.6 cm wide. Customer feedback on floating is mixed, and one reported concern is that the model can lean and nearly tip, so treat water play as uncertain rather than guaranteed.
