Fairmount Alpine 1:75

Product detailed description

Description: Fairmount Alpine is an ocean-going tugboat and rescue boat equipped with a wide range of special equipment for lifting sunken ships, transporting ships and other extreme loads on partially submerged barges. The 1:75 scale kit is designed for advanced shipbuilders.

Fairmount Alpine has a classic wooden hull with a combined sharia (plywood) and 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, anchors, lifebuoys, etc.), ship shafts with bushes and propellers.

To drive the model, there are two DC motors of the 500-600 series, at least 30 A bidirectional regulators (depending on the motors) and a 6-7-cell NiMH or 2-3S LiPo battery with a capacity of 3-5000 mAh. You can, of course, add a functional cross maneuvering unit to the bow.

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.
