The Smit Nederland was built in 1979 at the BV Scheepswerft & Machinefebriek "De Merwede" in Hardinzveld, Holland. Length 93', beam 29', draught 12 1/2'. The vessel is driven by two "Stork Werkspoor" diesel engines, whose 1000 rpm yield 1800 HP. Top speed is 12 knots; the acting radius is 2,250 miles. A special detail of this ship is the propellors, which are equipped with reversible blades in jet streams, and two basin rudders which ensure good maneuverability.

This is a brand new, model ship kit with an ABS hull. All wooden parts are laser cut for easy assembly. Lots of fittings in pre-finished wood, cast metal, brass and plastic. Comes with detailed plans and instructions. This model can be made into a remote control model by an advanced modeler.
