North Sea Fishing Trawler Model Kit – MV “Ross Jackal” (1961)
From Newfoundland to Norway, the European fishing fleet works tirelessly, battling the elements and the relentless sea. On a typical three-week fishing tour, a trawler spends about one week actively fishing, while the remaining two weeks are needed for travel to and from the fishing grounds. These trawlers are equipped with advanced electronics, including navigation aids, echo sonar, and automatic fish density tracking systems, allowing the crew to locate and harvest fish efficiently. Trawlers of this type haul their nets from the starboard side, and the crew consists of 19 men.
Now, you can recreate this rugged, iconic vessel with this highly detailed model of the MV “Ross Jackal”, a North Sea fishing trawler from Great Britain, 1961.
