Dick and others who wanted info on Sternwheeler Kits.
I have uploaded as much information as I can find on currently
available Sternwheeler Riverboat kits. (Dick, you had some of 'em
pegged but check out the link below for more information)

Clicking on this should take you right in to the Bookmarks>Bosuns'
Locker Section of the Paddleducks server which lists Paddlwheeler kits
and images.
I think I've covered most of the kits you were wanting to know about
and a couple more I found. However, most of these do not appear to be
models of a particular prototype as you're looking for, but tend to be
"generic" renditions of the era. Unless anyone else can steer us (pun
intended) towards any other readily available kits, I think you're
going to be looking at plans and scratch building (which really ISN'T
so BAD!!!..and you'd be amazed at what you can accomplish without a
massive workshop..some ingenuity ( and maybe some styrene resin
casting knowledge)...just takes a little longer!!)
Let us know how you get on!!!
Best regards
