Elbjorn "Icebreaker" 1:75

Product detailed description

Description: The icebreaker Elbjørn took care of ice breaking in Danish waters from 1954 to 1996, when a dynamo explosion caused damage that would be too costly to remove. Fortunately, the ship did not end up in scrap, after conversion to a floating museum / restaurant, you can now visit it in the Danish port of Aalborg. The 1:75 scale kit is designed for moderately advanced shipbuilders.

Elbjørn has a hull made of plastic molding with internal plywood reinforcements, a deck and a superstructure made 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.), ship shafts with bushes and ship propellers.

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

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