GRAUPNER WP BREMEN 9

Product information
This new long-distance boat, the BREMEN 9, was commissioned in December 1992 by the Marine Police of the Free Hanseatic town of Bremen. It is a new, innovative design whose general shape and layout mark it out from the usual run of German official vessels. The boat which was drawn up using the latest knowledge of high-speed boat design, is based on the concept of "Deep-Vee" planing boats which are used for off-shoreracing. On its very first run the boat achieved a speed of over 30 knots, easily exceeding the design brief of 27 kn. The hull lines indicate a maximum speed potential of over 45 kn. The BREMEN 9's unusual size makes it suitable as a long-distance vessel in the harsh environment of the waters around sea coasts as well as in the shipping lanes, usually known as the inland waters. The boat's forecastle mounts a fire-fighting cannon capable of firing 400 litres of water per minute.
Our semi-scale model of the BREMEN 9 WSP long-distance boat was drawn up to a scale of
1:20 from drawings provided by the manufacturer F. Fassmer & Co. of Berne. Like the original vessel it possesses very attractive running characteristics and can achieve an impressive top speed and a running time of around 15 minutes. The comprehensive detail fittings will please the more demanding boat modeller, and give the model a realistic scale appearance. In addition to thetwo basic functions of rudder and speed control of the two drive motors, the model is designed to be fitted with a working water cannon working lighting system and the new TOP-SOUND 1 module ?police boat? (No. 2460 ? not included) which combine to make the model even more attractive and varied.
The TOP-SOUND 1 module ?police boat? in particular, with its four scale-type operating sounds effectively underlines the model's character.
A large number of high-quality ready-made components make for quick and easy building. Hull, stern cradle, cabin superstructure and other parts are supplied as vacuum-mouldings in high-strength ABS plastic. The cabin superstructure is trimmed on CNC machines: all windows and other openings are machine-cut. The plywood deck and other wooden components are accurately die-stamped to size. The extensive fittings set contains injection-moulded parts for the working fire monitor, working lighting system, anchor, bollards, lifebelts, fenders, railing stanchions and other fittings all of which shorten the building time considerably.
Building time is further shortened by the many metal and injection-moulded ABS plastic parts of the set of fittings (No. 367 ? not included)
