Our model of the CUX 38 Nordstern is based on a North German fishing cutter. These ships are still to be seen in all the fishing harbours along the coast, where they are employed for in-shore fishing. This model continues the new series of high-quality ready-made models which began with the successful AM 75 Möwe. To achieve this elevated quality the boat's hull is moulded in strong GRP, while the superstructure consists of laser-cut wooden and ABS parts. The model also features a large number of small metal items, all ready-made and most of them factory-installed. The rigging is completely factory-assembled and features releasable fittings, so that the system can be removed easily for transport. Installation of the RC components is a fast,straightforward task thanks to the generous deck openings. The large number of detail features and fittings give the model a very impressive scale appearance; the fine detail of the superstructure is a good example of this. boat is ready for the water. |
