Scale model of the „Düsseldorf“ fire-fighting boat to 1:25 scale
The Düsseldorf fire-fighting boat was developed and built by the Rheinwerft
company of Mainz-Mombach, and it is operated in the Ruhr industrial region of
Germany. The vessel is designed specifically to cope with disaster situations,
such as a ship on fire, a major oil leak or a harbour system in danger of
explosion, and its fire monitors, operating at a pressure of 10.5 bar, can hurl
water or foam 45 m high and a distance of up to 95 m. The two V-12 engines
produce a total of 930 kW (1260 BHP), giving the boat a maximum speed of around
37 km/hr.
The Romarin kit of the „Düsseldorf“ fire-fighting boat is large and capacious
enough to accommodate all the equipment required to emulate the wide-ranging
facilities of the full-size vessel. Optional working systems include the fire
monitors, crane, anchor winch, radar, searchlights, blue light, horn and siren,
and also the sound of the diesel engines. The plastic hull is moulded in
thick-walled material, and it offers plenty of space for the numerous mechanical
and electronic parts required for the auxiliary working systems. The model is
propelled by two proven MAX Gear power systems, giving it an impressive turn of
speed. Four large rudders guarantee extreme manoeuvring capability both forwards
and astern. The fire monitors can be swivelled horizontally and vertically from
the transmitter, and with the recommended electric geared pump they can fire a
jet of water a distance of 6 - 8 m. If a working boat crane is fitted, the
vacuum-moulded rowing board can be raised, swung outboard and lowered to the
water in true scale style.

The ship model division of Robbe Modellsport has been owned by Krick
Modelltechnik since summer 2015. The former Robbe products will be marketed from
2016 under the brand "romarin by krick".
We have taken over almost all the designs and forms around ship model
construction and we will endeavor to re-launch the attractive ship models and
the important accessories from the Robbe range and thus make the ship model
construction even more lively.
Starting with the important starter models Katja and Dolly, over the fast
motoryachts like the Najade, up to the Feuerlöschboot Dusseldorf or
Hochweeschler Happy Hunter we want to expand the program step by step. And
especially the important accessories will not be missing. Certainly, this will
take some time, since Robbe's inventory could be reduced to little. We are
constantly updating articles.
A regular visit to our homepage in the "New articles" section is therefore
worthwhile.
