Boulogne Etaples 1:20

Product detailed description

Description: Boulogne Etaples is a typical French fishing trawler - a trawler that you can see in the small harbors on the banks of the English Channel. The real ship has a steel hull with a length of 11 m and is manned by a crew of 4-5 men. The model is designed for moderately advanced shipbuilders.

Boulogne Etaples has a hull of classic wooden construction with plank plating, wooden deck and superstructure. The kit contains all the plastic and wooden parts needed to complete the model, mock-up accessories (eg position lights, anchor, lifebuoys, etc.), a ship's shaft with a bushing and a ship's propeller.

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

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, etc.), which will require the use of a multi-channel RC kit - and there are never enough channels.
