ARTR (Almost Ready To Run)

The original:
Yachts of this type were used for short trips (called day cruisers). Therefore, these yachts are found particularly often in the Mediterranean and on the large European lakes. Especially in Venice, many of these yachts can be found.
They often have very powerful engines installed in order to reach high speeds. Despite the open bridge, these yachts are luxuriously appointed and also have a large interior cabin with multiple sleeping berths. Today these yachts are made with mahogany-coloured GRP hulls and wooden decks. This makes it possible to produce complex hull shapes that can not be made with pure wooden hulls.

The model:
Realistic replica of a typical modern luxury yacht
The wooden surfaces are made of individual planks of variously coloured woods, and the covering of the benches and recliner covered in synthetic leather and upholstery creates a particularly realistic effect
High-quality, top-class model withgood detailing

The original :
This model was based on a typical schooner with topsail schooner rigging. Originally, a schooner was a sailing ship with two masts, with the rear mast taller than the front. Later, starting in the 19th century, multi-masted schooners were also built.
Today, these ships usually sail as museum ships and can be found at international sailing meets. More rarely, such ships still sail as regular sailing school ships.

The model :

Premium Line Ready Built H.M.S.Hood

A new almost ready to run scale model of H.M.S Hood from Graupner with stunning detail now available .
This accurate scale model of the Royal Navy’s battle cruiser from 1918. The Admiral class ships were developed during the First World War to counter the threat of the German Mackensen classes, but only HMS Hood was completed.
In 1941 the Hood, together with the Prince of Wales, took part in the hunt for the Bismarck (accompanied by the Prinz Eugen). During this action the ship came under devastating steep-angle fire from the Bismarck, which succeeded in gaining a hit in the main magazine. The gigantic resultant explosion split the Hood in two, and the wreck sank in just two minutes; there were only three survivors.

Premium line Ready Buit Schanhorst

ARTR (Almost Ready To Run)
Accurate scale model of the former German War Navy's battle cruiser of 1936. The Scharnhorst and her sister ship Gneisenau were the first warships to be built which significantly exceeded the specifications laid down by the Treaty of Versailles. To avoid provoking a conflict with England, the vessels were fitted with the relatively weakarmament of 28 cm guns, although they carried powerful armour and had a high top speed of 31.5 kn.
Nevertheless the ships were not legalised until the signing of the German-British Fleet Agreement.
In the period up to 1942 the two ships participated in a number of joint operations against merchant shipping, and in support of the German occupation of Norway. After their return to Germany (Operation Cerberus) the Gneisenau layin dock for the repair of relatively slight mine damage, when she was severely damaged in an aerial attack, and was never re-commissioned. In 1945 the vessel was scuttled as part of the blockade of the entrance to Gotenhafen.
In December 1943, during an operation (Operation Ostfront) in the North Sea against merchant shipping, the Scharnhorst was sunk by two British battle groups consisting of the battleship HMS Duke of York, three light cruisers, one heavy cruiser and eight destroyers.
After protracted research by the Norwegian Alf R. Jacobsen in British, German and Norwegian military archives, and interviews with survivors and surviving dependents, the wreck of the Scharnhorst was located in September 2000 at a depth of around 300 m, at a point around 160 km North of Nordkap.

Premium Line Cap San Diego
ARTR (Almost Ready To Run)
Scale model of the Cap San Diego museum ship, which is stationed in the port of Hamburg. It is based on original drawings provided by the Cap San Diego Operating Company mbH (www.capsandiego.de)
In 1962 the ships of the Cap San class ushered in the era of fast freighters with their large refrigerated holds and fittings for twelve passengers. With their slim hulls and pronounced stem and stern rakes these ships were more reminiscent of elegant motor-yachts than freighters, and that was why they also became known as the White Swans of the South Atlantic.
Eventually, after about 1980, the Container became the dominant means of goods transport, and the end of the mixed cargo freighter hove into sight; one result of this development was the sale of the Cap San Diego to Spain in 1981.
Rescued from the scrapyard's cutting torch, the Cap San Diego returned to Hamburg in late 1986, where she was completely restored to a seaworthy state. Since that time she has been stationed at the Überseebrücke in Hamburg. We strongly recommend a visit to this vessel.
A high-quality top-level model with superb detail fittings.

Theodor Heuss Rescue Craft
ARTR (Almost Ready To Run)
Scale model of the first sea rescue cruiser featuring the current configuration (tower superstructure and separate daughter boat for shallow water operations). All subsequent cruisers have been built to the same layout.
A total of four ships of the Theodor Heuss class have been built. On 12.02.1957 the cruiser was christened with the name of the German Federal President of the time, Theodor Heuss. The daughter boat was christened Tedje, which is the North German diminutive of the first name Theodor.
The Theodor Heuss remained in service from 1957 to 1963 at Borkum, and from 1963 to 1985 at Laboe. The cruiser was subsequently sold, and is still sailing today as a motor yacht under the name Frido Spatz.
The daughter boat has also been in private ownership since 1996, and is due to sail again after restoration. Previously it was set up as a display exhibit in front of the Norddeich rescue hangar.
The Theodor Heuss which is on display in the German Museum in Munich is the renamed sister ship H.H. Meier. Top-quality model with superb detailing.
