## Overview

The Revell 05218 German Research Vessel Meteor model kit offers a highly detailed 1:300 scale replica of the iconic 97.5m research ship launched in 1986. Featuring authentic decals and intricate deck and hull styling, this unpainted plastic kit celebrates the Meteor’s legacy as a state-of-the-art floating laboratory that advanced marine science worldwide.

## Description

On 15th March 1986, the new Meteor, at that time the most-up-to-date exploration vessel in the world, went into service. She was the third research vessel to bear that name and represented the state of the art. The 97.5m long Meteor was built at the Schlichting Shipyard in Travemunde in only 11 months. The floating research laboratory weighs 4,400 tonnes and is powered by a diesel electric power plant that gives it a speed of 15 knots (27 km/h); it has a radius of operations of about 10,000 sea miles (18,000 km). The Meteor carries a 33-man crew and offers ideal working conditions for 29 scientists operating on behalf of the German Hydrographical Institute in various fields of marine research. The Meteor programme extends throughout the world in the fields of oceanography, marine chemistry, marine biology, meteorology, geology, ecology and air technology. There is space available to accommodate laboratory and material containers for numerous experiments. Eight winches with a total of 60 km of ropes and cables enable samples to be obtained from a depth of 10,000 metres. Newly designed sounding systems enable the surface of the seabed to be surveyed and analysed in layers of up to 70 metres.

Review: Looks like Revell fell a little short with this model. The instructions are not very clear on some parts and where they actually go.
Review: Toller REVELL BAUSATZ der leider Nicht im kompatiblen Maßstab1:350 mit heutigen Sammelmaßstab zu bauen ist sondern in komischen 1:300 er. Aber er ist trotzalledem ein gelungender Modellbausatz von Revell des Deutschen Forschungsschiffes.
