Ymer 1:60

Billing Boats
In the early 1950s, Danish architect and former RAF pilot Ejnar Billing displayed a handmade model of a fishing boat in the window of his wife's hobby shop. After a photo of the model appeared in a magazine, Mr. Billing was inundated with orders to build dozens of the same model. Since he was unable to handle such a large number, he decided to offer the boat as a kit - the first mass-produced kit with a wooden frame with a keel, ribs and planked skin, imitating the construction of real ships as closely as possible. This method of construction quickly caught on and Mr. Billing's models began to conquer the world. In 1958, the family business was founded, which still bears the name Billing Boats today. Over the years, the design of the models has been improved and modernized, in the 1960s the use of plastic hull moldings was introduced, then CNC machines came along and at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s Billing Boats began to use laser cutting of parts. Today, the company is managed by the third generation of Billings and the floating RC models and non-floating tabletop models still represent the absolute top in ship modeling.
We are pleased to offer you the Billing Boats series of building kits, from which you can build beautiful, detailed floating models with remote control or create a stylish addition to your apartment interior with the salty scent of the sea and the call of the distant...

YMER
Model of a Danish tugboat built in 1942 in Aalborg for the shipping company Det Forenede Bugserselskab A/S in Copenhagen. In 1951, the Ymer capsized and sank, but the crew of four survived. It was later raised and repaired; in 1975 it was sold to Greece, where it was named Deka.

The 1:60 scale kit is intended for beginning shipbuilders.

Ymer has a molded plastic hull, a plastic deck and a superstructure made of plastic and laser-cut wooden parts. The kit includes all plastic, brass and wooden parts needed to complete the model, as well as model accessories (e.g. position lights, anchor, lifebuoys, winch, propeller with shaft, etc.).

You can complete the model as a table-top non-floating model, but its construction also includes the possibility of installing an electric motor and RC equipment - the kit includes a propeller with a shaft and housing, as well as a functional rudder. So you can easily get a cute little model for a larger garden pool or for any "duck".
