Billing Boats
In the early 1950s, Danish architect and former RAF war pilot Ejnar Billing exhibited a self-made model of a fishing boat in a shop window of his wife's hobby shop. After the photo of the model appeared in one magazine, orders to build dozens of pieces of the same model overwhelmed Mr. Billing. Since it was not in his power to cope with such a quantity, he thought that the boat would offer as a kit - the first mass-produced kit with a wooden frame with keel, ribs and a planked shell to imitate the construction of real ships as much as possible. This way of construction quickly took over and Mr. Billing's models began to conquer the world. In 1958, a family company was created, bearing the name Billing Boats to this day. Over the years, the design of the models has been refined and modernized, the use of plastic hull moldings was introduced in the 1960s, CNC machines came in, and by the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, Billing Boats had begun to use laser cutting. Today, the third generation of Billing is in charge of the company and floating RC models and non-floating table mock-ups are still at the forefront of marine modeling.
We are delighted to offer you a series of Billing Boats, from which you can build magnificent, detailed sluggish mock-ups and create a stylish addition to your apartment's interior with the saltwater scent and call of distances.
Nordlandsbaaden 1:20
Nordlandsbaaden (Nordlandsbaden) is a typical fishing boat built in Norway in the 17th and 18th centuries. At first glance, it does not deny its origins in Viking ships. Like them, he had excellent nautical qualities and was able to safely take the crew to the harsh North, Norwegian, or Barents Sea, resist storms and return safely to the home fjord. Ships of this kind were used long after the time of their greatest glory - the last nail in the coffin for them was the advent of motor boats in the early 20th century.
But the Norwegians do not forget their traditions, and ships of this style are still being built today - today they are sports boats that participate in regattas along the entire long coast of Norway - from the Oslofjord in the south to the North Cape behind the polar circle.
Nordlandsbaaden has a fuselage of a classic wooden construction made of laser-carved parts with a planked plating and a canopy at the rear. The kit contains all the wooden, plastic and metal parts needed to complete the model, scale accessories, sail, etc.
