Banckert 1:50

Product detailed description

Description: A tug launched in 1965 under the original name Maasbank served for years in Dutch ports; Banckert received a new name in 1977. The actual ship was 32.75 m long and was powered by 1800 HP machines. The 1:50 scale kit is designed for moderately advanced shipbuilders.

Banckert has a hull consisting of a plastic molding with internal plywood reinforcements, a plastic deck and a superstructure of plywood and plastic parts. The kit contains a plastic hull molding and all other plastic and wooden parts needed to complete the model, mock-up accessories (eg position lights, anchors, lifebuoys, etc.), a ship's shaft with a bushing and a propeller.

For the drive of the model, a 500-600 series DC motor, at least a 30 A bidirectional regulator (depending on the motor) and a 6-7-cell NiMH or 2-3S LiPo battery with a capacity of 3-5000 mAh are planned.

In principle, even the most ordinary two-channel RC set is enough to control the basic functions; common standard servo is suitable for rudder control. But for the right modeler, of course, it is an "obligation" to add as many model functions as possible (lights, sound module, water cannon, maneuvering unit, etc.), which will require the use of a multi-channel RC kit - and there are never enough channels.
