Title: Graupner Sydney Star
Post by: AlanT on January 02, 2015, 08:33:55 pm
After ages trying I've finally managed to get hold of one go the Graupner Sydney Star Container ship kits.


The recommended motor for the kit is the Graupner 500e but this is no longer available and almost impossible to obtain on Auction sites. Can anyone recommend a suitable alternative motor...Also I'm looking for 1/200 scale decals for containers....If anyone knows of a source I should be grateful if you would share.


Kind Regards and Happy New Year to all.

These folks: http://igshansa.de/igsdownloadeng.html  make downloadable/printable containers in 1:200 scale.

If you have a source of unpainted containers, it might be possible to print the IGS Hansa containers onto decal paper. Probably expensive, but nobody takes up a hobby to save money! :o
