Where can I get a 1:12 version of this Hiab Crane please. If it's one that can be motorised then that would be lovely.

I think you will struggle find anything like that ready built in 1/12 scale Ken, probably going have to scratch build that as well...

There's a member on Trawlerphotos that is starting to make kits of HIAB's for fishing boats ( very similar to the above ) in 1:12th , 1:16th , 1:24th and 1:32nd scale

You're not kidding Russ. I've been researching and cant even find a toy in the shops that I could salvage.

Thanks Davie. Looks interesting. He's obviously found a gap in the market. I watch with interest.

Hi
I can supply an etched brass, 1/12th scale hyab for the Severn (as used on Speedline the kit).

It's OK now, as I've managed to scratch build one. I may update it to a motorised version one day. Watch this space. ok2

try looking into lego they have motorised hydrlic kits for some of their kits you could incorperate into your hiab

I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me. I shall look into this as it may be a handy product.
Cheers

i think the rams are air compressed and there are little switches to make them go in and out

Speedline Models make a hyab crane in 1/12th and 1/16 as part of their Severn kits. Might just be able to do something for you?
