This model of a German North Sea FishingTrawler was built from a Graupner kit in January 1974. The crew are South American, the dog Welsh the owner English and her home port is Maldon. She is powered by a 6volt 400 motor coupled with a Viper 15amp controller and my Spectrum radio outfit. The 6volt 10 amp gel cell also acts as ballast.

Built from kit . it has full lighting and smoke from the shrimp boiler (the lid is off my wife's coat )and working trawler nets ,( causes a right drag when deployed)
