The Admiral from DMI (Dansk Modelflyve Industri) is a true classic of mid-20th-century model boating and is still fondly remembered among enthusiasts. Originally released in 1965, the kit represented one of the company’s finest wooden cabin cruiser models, designed to reflect the elegant motor yachts of the postwar period.
With its sleek lines, long foredeck, and spacious cabin superstructure, the Admiral carried the visual DNA of the stylish pleasure craft of the 1950s and 60s. At just about one meter (100 cm) in length, it had real presence on the water, offering hobbyists not only a beautiful display piece but also a model with excellent sailing potential for its time. The DMI Admiral is more than just a vintage model—it’s a piece of model-boating history. From its beginnings as an affordable wooden kit in the 1960s to its evolution into a radio-controlled classic with modern electronics, it has remained a beloved symbol of elegance, craftsmanship, and the enduring joy of scale boating.
