Specification; Important Safety Notes - GRAUPNER ARKONA Betriebsanleitung

Operating instructions for the ARKONA model boat, Order No.: 2004
The full-size vessel
The Arkona was employed as an ocean-going boat by the marine rescue service of the former GDR (East
Germany). The vessel was built at the Polish Wisla dockyard in 1974 as sister-ship of the Halny series. In
1992 the German Association for the Rescue of the Shipwrecked (DGzRS) accepted sea rescue
responsibility for the entire Baltic region, and introduced modern cruisers to the fleet; at this point the
Arkona was transferred to the Polish rescue service. This model represents the state of the vessel in its
final years of service.
The model
This boat expands the GRAUPNER PREMIUM line, a series of particularly high-quality ready-made
models with an unprecedented level of detailing.
The core of this high-quality model is the robust moulded GRP hull, complemented by the superstructure
and deck which are constructed from laser-cut ABS parts. Many of the small items are of metal, and
almost everything is factory-assembled. The hull, some parts of the superstructure, the masts and fittings
are spray-finished using semi-matt paints, and the decals are already applied. The many details and scale
fittings give the boat an impressive scale appearance.
The large deck opening makes it a simple matter to install the RC components, and the procedure is
quickly completed. To prepare the boat for running all you have to do is install the RC components and the
drive battery, carry out a little soldering, and the model is ready for the water.
