Large Mobil Oil Tanker (1965-1990) In N & Z Scale was created by Pete Nolan
This impressive N Scale model of the Aframax-class Mobil Engineer measures 42 inches long and more 6 inches wide—the prototype was 560' long and 85' in beam, and served for more than twenty years. Because all components are computer cut, the model is also available in Z.
The exquisitely detailed model is constructed with a styrene hull and superstructure. Piping for loading and offloading cargo is precisely modeled, as is the high pressure piping system for cleaning tanks.
All railings and stairways are photoetched brass. Platforms for walkways are computer cut from styrene to the dimensions and precision of photoetched brass. Overflow and inspection hatches are exactly located as on the prototype, as are many other custom details such as vents, deck hatches, fire monitors, rescue craft, post and beams, stack, masts, winches and windlass, anchors and many other details.
This truly museum quality model is available in N or Z scale for $3200, plus shipping. Shipping is in a custom built box and runs about $100 in the US and $200 internationally. Shipping cost will be determined at time of shipping.
Kits are available, but directions for main deck details are not detailed, although general diagrams are provided. The kits do not include materials for the on-deck piping inspection hatches: these are constructed from inexpensive dowels, styrene tubes, and piano wire (or other materials of the builder's choosing), with diameters of the modeler's choosing. The directions cover the building of the 3-part hull and superstructure, and the general arrangement of details. The kit includes thousands of scale feet of railings and dozens of stairways, as well as 3D printed fire monitors, built-up winches and windlass, and many cast parts. This is a kit for advanced modelers and is priced at $650 plus shipping. Contact nscaleships.com or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
