Graupner,WP TÖN 96 - NICKY,2187

WP TÖN 96 - NICKY Graupner 2187 TÖN 96 Nicky is a classic shrimping cutter,
typical of dozens of vessels based in various North Sea ports.
Our version is designed to a scale of about 1:20, producing a model which is easy to transport. In keeping with the full-size vessels the model
includes all the characteristic features of the ship type: squat, pugnacious hull, wheelhouse set far aft, extensive rigging with shrimping nets, and deck-mounted processing apparatus including sieve, shrimp boiler and net winch. The accurately modelled detail features make a big contribution to the convincing scale character of the model. The Nicky is designed for an economical electric motor with 3:1 gearbox and large lead/acid battery, and with this power system it looks extremely realistic on the water and gives very long running times. The hull is ultra-stable thanks to its considerable displacement. Even the operational and ambient sounds of the full-size vessels can be reproduced realistically if you install the »Fishing cutter« TOP-SOUND 2 module, No. 2461. The more advanced and demanding marine modeller will enjoy fitting out the boat with further auxiliary working system, such as remote control of the shrimping nets.
