Title: HIAB Sea Crane
Post by: sailorboy61 on March 29, 2011, 09:42:20 pm
Hello All,

I am building  1/32 scale tug.  Made up a slipway 1/24 HIAB, great kit, but am thinking it might look a little big on the model, so does anyone know where to get my hands on a 1/32 version. needs to be HIAB or similar folding boom type, the Atlas is the wrong style.

Thanks

could your 1/24 th hiab be made to look as if it were of a heavier lifting capacity than your tug kit was originally fitted with ?

I am sure Slipway do one like the Yorkshireman has fitted, also Mobile Marine Models do a nice one..
