Graupner's New Ready Made WP Smit RotterdamGraupner's New Ready Made WP Smit Rotterdam
Premium line Ready Built Smit Rotterdam The Smit Rotterdam
is one of the world's largest ocean-going tugs. Operated by the SMITWIJS shipping company since 1975. The vessel was designed specifically for towing oil drilling platforms and immobilised ships.
The model expands the unique GRAUPNER PREMIUM line - a range of extremely high-quality ready-made model boats. 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-madeand factory-installed. The hull, superstructure components, masts and fittings feature a sprayed finish using silk-matt paints, and the decals are already applied. The boat's many detail features and fittings give it a particularly convincing scale appearance.
Installation of the RC components is a fast, straightforward task thanks to the three generous deck openings. To prepare the model ready for running all you have to do is install the RC system components and the drive battery; complete a small number of soldered joints, and the boat is ready for the water Pack contents :Operating instructions with RC notes in German, English and French.

WP U-16 Mini U-BoatWP U-16 Mini U-Boat
The U-16 is based on a submarine operated by the German Federal Navy.
The sub features a real static diving system utilising a vertical movement motor which controls a flood tank.
As the tank floods, the boat starts to sink under its own weight; it surfaces using the same method. The result is that the model can "hover" (remain stationary) in the water.
Excellent manoeuvrability is obtained by the stern thruster combined with the relatively short hull - the model is shorter than scale. The drive battery can be charged quickly and easily, as the switch socket doubles as the charge socket. The two red searchlights glow when the boat is running, making the model look truly realistic. As the submarine is so small, it can easily be operated in the bath or an aquarium.
Operating instructions in German, English and French. Factory-assembled and painted model submarine, ready to run; radio control transmitter, battery charger and small items.

RC functions :Right / left steering ,Drive motors On / Off ,Fill / drain flood tank

Specification: Hull length approx.132 mm,Beam approx. 33 mm, Height approx. 50 mm,All-up weight incl. RC approx. 72 g
Max. diving depth approx. 0.5 m
