Nordic - Wooden kit
Ocean salvage tug in scale 1:72
The Nordic is probably the most powerful German deep-sea salvage tug. She
is stationed at a sea position near Helgoland as part of the German emergency
towing concept. The construction and commissioning of the Nordic is one of the
consequences of the Pallas accident in 1998. Since then, the Schutzgemeinschaft
Deutsche Nordsee (SDN) in particular, along with many other nature conservation
associations, had been campaigning for a new emergency tug.
The
keel-laying of the Nordic took place on 27 October 2009 at P+S Werften (formerly
Peene Werft) in Wolgast. Sea trials were conducted between 7 and 12 October
2010. In this context, the Nordic achieved a tractive force of 207 tonnes (about
2030 kN) during the bollard pull tests in Flekkefjord, Norway. The ship was
completed on 15 November 2010.
The Nordic then replaced the obsolete Oceanic
at the turn of the year 2010 / 2011. The modern tugboat has a top speed of 20
knots and reaches all positions in the German Bight within two hours. The ship
is equipped with a so-called citadel, a gas and explosion protection system,
which allows the Nordic to operate even in highly flammable or hazardous
environments.
Original drawings of the shipyard could be used for the
development of the Nordic kit. The model is correctly reproduced in 1:72 scale.
The kit is made of plywood with keel and frames and abachi planking strips. The
superstructure is made with complete interior fittings from laser-cut wooden
parts and details in resin 3D printing. In addition, the model can be
illuminated with LEDs both internally and externally. The kit is basically
designed as a floor model, but is quite suitable for use on the water with
propulsion and remote control. A listing of the accessories required for
conversion as a floatable RC model is in preparation.
The rich set of
fittings is made of very detailed 3D impression parts. Likewise the cort
nozzles.
The kit comes with detailed illustrated instructions with German
text passages and parts list.
