M.V. CREAR

1/40 Scale  34” x 8.5”                                                                       

This, our latest hull, materials and plans pack for the "MV CREAR" is by far the most complete 'semi-kit' we have produced to date, if you buy all three packs it is almost a full kit. We know that this model boat is eminently suitable for the beginner or expert alike. With the clear stern side deck the modeler has some scope to add extra detail to their own choice.

A beautifully molded white one piece GRP hull is molded to top of stern deck bulwark levels, stern superstructure top edge.  The half-round side rubbing strips are also molded on. Very little work is required to get the hull ready for working on.   Included with the pack is a prop shaft & tube, cast white metal propeller, rudder, rudder tube & bottom skeg, instruction manual includes details on how to fit these.   Materials pack consists of flat white styrene sheets:  approx.  660mm x 274mm, in a mixture of 0.75mm, 1mm & 1.5mm thickness.  These sheets, used in conjunction with the Template Drg (Sheet 3) for all the large flat parts, makes for very easy and quick construction of the model. Also included is clear glazing material. There is also a bundle of 6mm x 3mm styrene strips (660mm.lg.), these are used for joining the decks to the GRP hull and reinforcing corner joints. The styrene sheets are easily glued with any tube/bottle/liquid styrene adhesive.  There is a newly prepared, full-size set of highly detailed scale plans drawn by David Metcalf from originals supplied by the builders.

Sheet 1.  This is a large impressive sized drawing and shows the main side elevation and plan view with the wheel house interior plan.

Sheet 2.  This slightly smaller drawing shows elevations to the bridge, stern engine-room casing/superstructure and details/elevations of the 'Palfinger' crane.

Sheet 3. A large drawing this is the 'Template Drg'. This shows all the main parts drawn out accurately, full-size and to scale. Parts are all laid out on what thickness of sheet they use, transfer these shape to the styrene sheets, cut them out and glue them together to make up the model, this really does simplify and make construction quick and easy, especially for the first time builder.
