Model boat kit

Nordkap

Kit by Billing Boats

Nordkap is a North Sea trawler built in England in 1970, 40 m long, that fished the grounds around Iceland and Greenland. Trawlers of her kind worked far northern waters for weeks at a time, bringing the catch home on ice.

The kit is drawn from the original ship plans and builds a 1:50 model with a wooden hull, 81 cm long, supplied with a photo manual. Billing rates it for experienced builders, the third of its four levels.
