Calder Craft anchor winch ‘Joffre’ – 1:48 scale kit (item no. 27204)
Add an authentic piece of ship and work tug history to your model: the Calder Craft anchor winch ‘Joffre’ is based on the equipment of the tugboat Joffre (coastal towage services around Newcastle upon Tyne), built in 1916, and was a central piece of equipment for safe anchor and tow handling. The completely redesigned kit reproduces this classic steam anchor winch in 1:48 scale in a particularly realistic manner – ideal for discerning model builders who value detail.
New design: 3D resin print instead of white metal
The kit has been completely redesigned and modernised: instead of the previous cast white metal parts, precisely manufactured 3D resin parts are now used. This offers you several advantages:
Faster assembly thanks to precisely fitting components
Significantly less reworking, no tedious deburring/adjusting as with white metal
Finer details and visibly more realistic mechanics
Detailed down to the mechanics
The components impress with their highly detailed appearance and clear representation of all mechanical elements. The assembly instructions provide clear guidance on the assembly of gears, brake levers, chain guides and drums.
Brass rods in various diameters are included to serve as axles, allowing the gears to be mounted so that they can rotate freely if required.
Highlights/features
Completely revised kit with newly designed 3D resin parts
Easier and faster assembly
Hardly any reworking necessary (no white metal as in the past)
Very realistic, finely detailed appearance
Optional functionality: Gears can be assembled so that they can rotate
Perfect for the ‘Joffre’ tugboat and many 1:48 ship models
