'Graupner Ton 12 Crab Fishing Cutter 1:25 Scale

Graupner Ton 12 Crab Fishing Cutter 1:25 Scale Kit for Radio Control
The crab-fishing cutter TÖN 12 KRABBE is a fishing vessel mainly operated in the North Sea. It is specifically designed for fishing crabs and carries a special type of purpose-designed rigging for the job. The large fishing nets are carried by two outrigger booms, heaved up almost to the mast during the run to the fishing grounds.
The model is scaled down to 1:25 scale from original plans and so configured as to satisfy even the most demanding modeller. '

Kind regards
Pirate
