The beautiful and accureately detailed Marie Astrid is areprodcution of a fish cutter from Boulogne as it is seen in vast numbers at various harbours. The model is delivered fully assembled. The hull is made of robust fibreglass. The Marie Astrid can also be a very beautiful display model.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. |
