HELP needed re: Graupner Neptun

Hi Ron
No, the yellow cranes in the second pic are on the original version, as the guy bought it. He then decided to convert it to a container feeder ship as shown in the first pic. They don't need on board cranes.

Your container idea shows two yellow cranes. I have no life boats, railings, forecastle deck hardware, anchors, masts, just what you see here.

Tag Tica,
More like 1/96 or 1/100 according to the build reports I've seen here in Germany. Re lack of cranes; you could always build her as a Container Feeder ship! 😉 For example; Before

I have a nearly completed Neptun, but is also missing the cranes.

I have just done the hatches with tie downs.

As I recall the scale is approx 1:87 (H0) but please check if that is correct.

No plans. No fittings. Just the parts I have been able to glue-up here.

The containers and toys were added to see if they might be used for freight. These General Freighters are used for multiple cargos but I have no Cranes.

Thinking of just adding hatches with tie downs.

Any suggestions? Approximately what scale?
