Occre Fram 12012
The reproduction of this model is faithful to the original. Our model kits provide all the necessary elements to make the ship model truly authentic, including the most specific naval details you can imagine.
History of the Fram Polar Ship
The Fram Ship was a distinguished Norwegian vessel designed to withstand the extreme conditions of late 19th-century polar expeditions. Built in 1892, its reinforced construction allowed it to venture into the inhospitable regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. Under the command of the renowned Fridtjof Nansen, the Fram reached previously uncharted latitudes, playing a key role in the search for new routes through the ice. Later, the ship served in the expeditions of explorer Otto Sverdrup, mapping unknown areas of northern Canada, and in those of the legendary Roald Amundsen, who, with the Fram’s help, became the first man to reach the South Pole in 1911.
Thanks to these achievements, the Fram is considered one of the most famous polar exploration ships in history.

Happy Hunter
Krick has now re-released the Happy Hunter under it's Ro-Marin Range
The Happy Hunter is a scale reproduction of a Dutch ocean-going salvage tug to a scale of 1 : 50.
The boat is built to be powered by a direct-drive, i.e. non-geared system, in the form of two high-torque 700 electric motors. Fixed Kort nozzles increase thrust, and the boat is capable of carrying out extremely arduous towing tasks and complex manoeuvres in conjunction with the bow thruster, which is an optional accessory. The capacious plastic hull allows the modeller to install numerous auxiliary working systems, and experienced builders will enjoy fitting out the Happy Hunter with a working lighting system, radar, anchor winch, sound system and towing mechanism. It is even possible to install a fully working crane; the crane itself is included in the kit.

Aeronaut Pilot Boat 1:25
Boats of this general type are widely encountered along the Baltic and North Sea coasts. These vessels are very agile and fast, typically capable of 25 - 30 kn. Their task is to provide reliable, all-weather transport for pilots to the large ocean-going ships. The space aft of the command stand can accommodate several pilots, so that a single excursion can take all of them out to their “workplaces”. Our model very effectively incorporates the typical characteristics and handling of these boats.
The model is based on a modern planing hull, and is therefore very fast and agile. The hard-chine hull is of plastic construction. All the ABS parts are supplied laser-cut, and can be slotted together and glued immediately. The hull is assembled on a Depron jig. The power system consists of two electric motors which can either be controlled individually (2 x Multi 25 speed controller) or in common by a single Multi 40 controller. Two rudder systems are used for directional control.
