Maggie M, Trawler	Model Scale 1:32 Length 850 mm - Beam 255 mm - Displ. approx. 10 kg Built in 1990 by Campbeltown Shipbuilders Ltd (Scotland) MAGGIE M operates out of Scarborough harbour in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The vessel is designed for twin-rig trawling and the aluminium shelter-deck is a cover over the fish processing room. MAGGIE M. is designed to operate in the most arduous sea conditions and the model performs brilliantly on rough waters. The Becker rudder and Kort nozzle make for a very manoeuvrable model, turning almost within its own length - a great regatta boat. Kit Contents: A detailed glassfibre hull; prop-shaft, Becker rudder, Kort nozzle and brass propeller; styrene parts for the superstructure and a detailed wheelhouse interior. A set of approx. 300 cast metal fittings; crane and winches in kit form. All the necessary dowels, rod, chain, assembly instructions are supplied. (Paints and adhesives are not provided. Tools and equipment will be required to complete.) Recommended for model makers with average building skills.

Built by Parkol Marine Engineering the vessel has been designed for catching whitefish in the Norwegian and EU Sectors of the North Sea. Many of this type of trawlers are being built however all have slight design differences and/or colours. The kit contains all the required parts to build the model: A highly detailed one-piece glassfibre hull; prop-shaft, propeller, brass rudder assembly, resin-cast Kort nozzle; a bow thruster tube Styrene parts for the construction of the decks, wheelhouse and interior arrangement, the trawl gantry and crane with power-block ABS sections for the construction of the cod-end lifting gantry A set of fittings from high grade casting alloy. Metal kits for the winches Vacuum-formed liferaft canisters and radar Self-adhesive vinyl decals including banners and flags for Our Lass II (the kit is available without Our Lass decals for those who wish to build other similar trawlers) All the necessary wooden dowel for mast, wire for railing, chain etc. Over 100 step-by-step assembly drawings Van deze boot is er een tijdschrift artikel [of meer dan 1] te vinden op de pagina *Modellen Tijdschrift Artikelen* [Deze pagina is alleen toegankelijk voor VMBC het Anker leden]
Tamar, Class Lifeboat	Model Scale 1:16 Length 1000mm - Beam 320mm - Displ. approx. 7.5 kg The Tamar class is the result of several years of research and development by the RNLI to produce the next generation of slipway-launched lifeboat. It is virtually unsinkable and if it capsizes in the stormy seas around the British Isles, it will right itself within a few seconds. The Tamar will gradually replace the Tyne class. The lifeboat includes the computerised Systems and Information Management System (SIMS) that enables crew to control many of the lifeboat's functions remotely from the safety of their seats. Other features include advanced ergonomics that reduce the impact on the crew as the lifeboat crashes through waves, and a powered Y-class boat stored behind a transom door to allow immediate deployment. The Y-boat is accessed by lifting a section of the rear deck, then launched and recovered on to a ramp provided by the lowered transom door. The kit contains all the required parts to build the model: Two glassfibre mouldings: the hull and the deck Prop-shafts, propellers, brass rudders; a bow-thruster tube Styrene parts for the construction of the cabin with detailed interior A set of fittings and stanchions manufactured from high grade cast alloy Three large frets of etched brass components including detailed window frames, instrumentation, interior detail etc. Pre-formed mast arches from brass tube Vac-formed styrene radar, bow fender, liferaft boxes, liferings, the filler bays and hose reel A vac-formed styrene kit for the Y-class boat with Lettering and Numbers Self-adhesive Lifeboats lettering and RNLI flags Rubber fendering, wire, dowel etc. Over 70 assembly drawings for ease of construction The Y-boat compartment under the rear deck is an optional fitment with a choice of building the deck door as a one-piece removable unit or with folding sections. The transom door can be represented by a score in the GRP or drawn in with a permanent marker pen. The more experienced model maker will no doubt wish to build a working transom door however no details are given in the kit. We have ensured that the steering gear is below the Y-boat deck level should the modeller wish to house the Y-boat below decks.

Yorkshireman, Tug	Twin Screw - Model Scale 1:48 Length 875 mm - Beam 240 mm Displ. approx. 10 kg Built in 1978 by Cochrane of Selby, Yorkshireman and Irishman were the most powerful pair of purpose-built tugs to enter service in the UK when they joined the fleet of United Towing. The tugs were involved in all types of towing work in the North Sea oil fields and around the world. However, their finest and most famous days were without a doubt during the Falklands War when they were taken into service with the Salvageman by the Royal Navy. Their best-known exploit was in the attempt to save the container ship Atlantic Conveyor after she had been hit by missiles from the Argentinean Air Force; unfortunately this rescue attempt was not successful. The kit contains all the required parts to build the model: A one-piece glassfibre hull; prop-shafts, propellers, brass rudder assemblies, Kort nozzles and a bow thruster tube Printed and cut styrene for ease of construction A set of cast metal fittings. Metal kits for the winches and cranes Etched brass for stanchions and other components Resin-cast dinghies; vacuum-formed liferaft canisters and radome A set of self-adhesive vinyl decals for Yorkshireman and Irishman.
