After along time I decided to start building ship models again. My skill levels need some waking up and tlc. To test my skills, patience and tenacity to stay with a project even when I run into problems and difficulty I started with the Graupner Tön 12 Shrimping Cutter, scale 1:25. It’s a fishing boat very common on the coast of northern Germany ( North Sea). I am about two thirds into the built and I love it. This kit has been on the market since 1973 with periodic revisions, not always for the best imho. It’s so common it’s the VW Beetle of ship model kits. Graupner recently went out of business and so I decided to built this one before it disappears. Yes, it’s a rc model but it will mostly sit on the shelf. There are things I don’t like though. An example is the thin rigging and chains which look like out of somebody’s jewelry box. My question is what is the correct rigging size for a 1950s to 1980s Era fishing cutter scale 1:25?
Thank you,
