Product informations
Container ships such as the SYDNEY STAR are an increasingly common sight on the world´s oceans, as the use of standardised containers - they are identical the world over - makes it simple and fast to load and unload goods. For this reason virtually all goods are transported by container nowadays. For long-distance journeys (Asia - Europe - America) large container ships with vast transport capacity are employed, which can only be accommodated in particular ports. These ports are specially equipped for handling containers, and for this reason the ships require no loading bridge. The containers are then carried on the remainder of their journey by smaller container ships (coastal vessels), or by road and rail.
The SYDNEY STAR is a semi-scale model of a long-range container ship. The model includes all the characteristic features and details of these vessels, as we wanted the ship to have as realistic an appearance as possible. Construction of the model is greatly simplified by the high level of pre-fabrication of the kit´s components, many of them die-cut or CNC-machined, plus the many fittings included in the kit as standard, including winches, companionways and injection-moulded handrails. Nevertheless, the model is only recommended for the experienced marine modeller. The two transverse thrusters at bow and stern allow the model to traverse (move sideways) and turn on the spot without difficulty, without the need for tugs.
