Parts in "Frosted Detail" material to complete the model of the Canadian military vessel "HMCS Kingston", a coastal defence vessel, in 1:200 scale:
- main gun
- RHIB
- machine guns
- propellers (both for RC and for static model)
- life rafts
- anchors
- winch
- radar antenna
To complete the cruise ship, three different sets of 3D prints are needed:
A display stand is currenctly not available (yet).
Size of the model:
length: 27.7 cm
width: 4.7 cm
The Kingston-class vessels were built as part of the Canadian
Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel Project. There are twelve ships in this class that was preceded by the Anticost Class (a model of this is available
through my shop, too). Apart from the
HMCS Kingston (MM 700), designating the first unit built, the others vessels are:
HMCS Glace Bay,
HMCS Nanaimo,
HMCS Edmonton,
HMCS Shawinigan,
HMCS Whitehorse,
HMCS Yellowknife,
HMCS Goose Bay,
HMCS Moncton,
HMCS Saskatoon,
HMCS Brandon, and
HMCS Summerside. Currently, the
HMCS Kingston is stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Kingston class vessels serve multiple roles, both in mine sweeping services, coastal patrol and training. They have a complement of approx. 35 staff on board, and can be equipped for the different purposes using a modular system of different 20 ft. ISO containers that can be stowed on the rear deck. Currently, seven different mission-specific modules are available. The ships use diesel-electric Z-drives with azimuth pods that can be rotated by 360°, giving them exceptional maneuverability. They are armed with one 40mm gun and two 12.7mm machine guns.
Technical data of the original:
length: 55.3 m
width: 11.3 m
The model is designed in 1:200 scale. It is set up to be built as a functional model with radio control. However, it can also be built as a static model for display. The model has two working azimuth thrusters that can be used to control the model just like the original. In addition to the propulsion system and steering, additional functions can be added (e.g. radar, light,...)
