I'm not sure if an ocean going vessel like that would fit on my layout, but at that price (did a quick search, $35.99 at internethobbies.com, that's about 211 NOK, plus shipping, in todays currency) it's a very interesting option! Do you know if it comes with a full hull only, or if there's also a waterline hull included in the kit?
The kit is a full hull plastic ( molded styrene ) model, I "waterlined" ( glued the two hull halves together, taped the hull to a board, with a right angle piece on the opposite side, to keep it vertically square , and ran the hull through my band saw.) it for use on my module's "water". At 127' overall length, she's an ocean going vessel, but not really trans-oceanic, a coastal freight carrier.
the kit, is an ocean going trawler.
The hull is 17.5" ( 44.5 cm ) overall length.
