This is a 30-inch static model of the trawler that had suffered damage and had most of the deck fittings missing when I got a hold of it.
It was 'de-constructed' by Victor Marcham of the Mablethorpe Model RC Boat Group. Being a static model, it had to be bored through to fit a propshaft, a motor and rudder, and had new decking, mast and working LED lights.
It has yet to be weighted so pond trials can begin.

    Thanks Peter ! I think it makes a build far more interesting when you know that it is a replica of an actual vessel and to know her history. Enjoy her.

    You are right - it does make it more interesting... despite there being precious few pictures of her around! I'm as pleased as punch with the way she looks now.

This model of a German North Sea FishingTrawler was built from a Graupner kit in January 1974. The crew are South American, the dog Welsh the owner English and her home port is Maldon. She is powered by a 6volt 400 motor coupled with a Viper 15amp controller and my Spectrum radio outfit. The 6volt 10 amp gel cell also acts as ballast.

Master Hand - Lowestoft Trawler LT1203
Model Scale 3/8"to the foot - Fell in love with hull design and just had to build it. Plans were from the book Sailing Trawlers by Edgar J. March Lent to me by Becky, Master of the Thames Barge Cabby.

    Hi!
    I got it from "Boats and Bits" in Newton le Willows who closed down over 10 years ago.
    Try Steve at Scale Hobbies in Skelmersdale.
    Google--- Scalehobbies Skemersdale.
    Good Luck
    Max.

    Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go. trouble is I've had the hull since 1982 so it's a bit out of date as Cygnus then started to produce the GM 33 Continental like yours. But I'm not beat yet, even if I have to end up making the wheelhouse from scratch ! 😰
