Graupner Premium....kit!
« on: February 26, 2017, 04:15:32 pm »

Looks like Graupner are listening to their customers and are now offering the Nordic as a kit:

The hull is complete already including the bulwarks, can't help but think painting them especially in the area of the stern would be very tricky! Sure is a lot cheaper than the pre-built version.

Almost £1000 cheaper!!  %%


What do you guys think, will any of you be buying this kit?

Their fibre glassing work is truly excellent these days. I have seen both the Rescue Cruiser Eiswette and the Pilot Boat 0.Wulf, and they are almost 'easy kits', albeit highly detailed ones. If I wanted one, I would pay the cash and be happy with the result. Full marks to 'New' Graupner for these :-))

Wow! The kit looks quite good. Get the point about the bulwark looks like a good challenge. That might just become my next project %) .....once I've caught up and finished the other 3 that are waiting for me!  :embarrassed: :embarrassed:
