Product Description:

Bring the atmosphere of a classic shipyard to life with the HMV 40-ton Tower Crane Card Model Kit. This beautifully detailed 1/250 scale papermodel, designed by Benjamin Fentens and Peter Brandt, recreates a historic shipyard crane and foundry building based on the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. Perfect for dioramas, maritime collections, or model displays, this kit combines industrial charm with engineering precision.

The rotating 40-ton tower crane, modeled after a 1932 MAN design from R. Hänchen’s book “Winden und Krane”, stands beside a meticulously crafted foundry building. Its brick-style walls and expansive steel-frame windows capture the authentic look of Hamburg’s harbor architecture. Ideal for building an equipment quay scene, the set includes a modular quay segment for flexible display.

Every element of this card model is designed to impress – from the double-layer facade to the inward-set windows and the sophisticated printed graphics that create depth and realism.
