Revell 1/142 Northsea Fishing Trawler
From Newfoundland to Norway, the European fishing fleet is in action around the clock every day, battling the elements and the unforgiving seas. On a three-week fishing trip, the trawler devotes only about one week to fishing, with the remaining two weeks needed for travel to and from the fishing grounds. The equipment of these trawlers includes electronic equipment such as navigational aids, echo sonar, and an automatic fish school reporting system that indicates the density of fish occurrences. Trawlers of this type tow their trawls on the right side (starboard side). The crew is 19 men.
