Hi to all,
since I am going to finish the HMV buoy tender BRUNO ILLING soon I was looking for a successor in 1;250 scale and found one in a multiple sense: The latest PASSAT model is the buoy tender NORDERGRÜNDE which is the successor of the BRUNO ILLING for the german federal waterway service. The model was also designed by Henning Budelmann as BRUNO ILLING. So a buoy tender designed by the same designer and successor in service seems to be a good premise for a well build model
Here you can see BRUNO ILLING with the NORDERGRÜNDE sheet in front ready to be cut out and the frame which is really stable.
