Information on the original:
The model
The model is designed in 1:200 scale. It can be built as a model for static display or as a working RC boat. It is set up to enable radio control functions (RC), with single shaft and rudder as well as the bow thruster fully functional. As the model is rather small, the model can only be used in quiet water conditions. Additionally, the radar and lights can be set up to work, additional function such as the crane can be added by a skilled modeler, too. However, this model is not set up to be ready to run, it requires refinement and is only suitable for skilled model builders.
The total model consists of four sets of printed parts: Hull, Superstructure, Details 1 of 2, Details 2 of 2. To complete the model as an RC operated model, a further set of prints for the functional parts is needed.
