offshore fender, as commonly used e.g. in oil and other offshore operations
- based on the Yokohama fender design, roughly 2.5 x 5m as original size
- hollow, does not float as model part, but can be sealed with a drop of glue to each end to use for floating; holes can also be used to add wire / thread / small chain for tugging operation (approx. 1 mm in diameter)
- needs to be painted
available in two materials:
- versatile white plastic - polished nylon, but somewhat rough surface, quite sturdy, better for RC applications
- smooth fine plastic - better surface quality with more detail, but slightly brittle material, better for decorative aspects on a model
