Dear Modellers
I thought that you might like an update from the edge of the world near Farcet and to let you know what is new to the DEANS MARINE range.
Deans Marine will be attending the model boat show at Doncaster on the 8-09th June. We will have on display the NEW 1/12th scale 25ft Royal Navy Motor Boat plus the first of the kits for this popular model.
We will also have on display the new release of kits that have been added to the range this year, Truro, Yarra Surveyor, the new Mini-gear radio sets plus a full selection of model accessories from our range.
Details of the 25Ft Motor Boat.
The model.
This kit is based on a glass fibre hull with clinker planking moulded into the surface of the hull. The deck and cabins assembly is LASER cut from 1.5 & 1mm Hi Impact plastic sheet for "one Glue" assembly.
A full set of fittings in cast alloy, resine & brass is included in the kit with set of decals and name plates, window frames are cut from vinyl "aluminium" Propshaft and prop are included in the kit along with a full size plan and a comprehensive set of instructions. plus to add a bit of a talking point, a highly detailed replica of the 4 cylinder Thornycroft engine is part of the kit and this also serves as a motor mounting with the coupling exiting to the propshaft
The 25ft Motor Boat
At the present time (1960s) the 25ft motor boat is the most widely used of all power boats supplied to H M ships, as it is found in all the Algerine class minesweepers, in most frigates, and in all the Loch and Bay class, and in all Destroyers including the Battles, Weapons, and Daring class ships and has served them all well from the 1920s to the mid 1960s, even its replacement is but a glass fibre copy of the original design.
Scale 1/12th Length 690mm Beam 210mm [size=78%]First run kit price £135..00[/size]
Look forward to seeing you all at the show.
