S-boat

If it goes on or under the wet stuff and doesn't fly, it's in here.

This one has a Revell crew, but is basically OOB. As its waterlined it will soon appear in a nautical diorama

Thanks guys, I'm not sure where the crane originates from - I reclaimed it from my old model railway :twisted:

Having had a quick look around the net, apart from the Airfix/DAPOL harbour crane, there appears to be a big void of any HO/OO scale crane kits on the market. The only other kit I found was an expensive resin kit and an "N" scale kit of a crane similar to yours made by Faller.

I like the look of your crane and might be cheeky and copy the design and convert a Airfix crane to a similar style.
