Comes with original box accessories and paperwork. It is still in production some 40 years on and so any parts for the WASA are still available. It comes with hundreds of metal, wood and plastic components many untouched although I cannot confirm it is complete but it is exactly how Gordon left it. The part that is built looks to be in good order, with slight scuffing to the stern piece and some slight cracking along the middle of the deck (see photos) It would be wonderful to see this boat finally finished. It is not for the faint hearted but a lot of the work has been done! Obviously I cannot guarantee it is complete or comment on Gordon’s workmanship, suffice to say he took care in everything he did. If full price is met 10% will be donated to the Alzheimer’s society. The below is from the Billings Boats website. This wooden boat kit is highly realistic with many fine details.
