Anchors
« Thread Started on Nov 4, 2009, 6:11am »
Anyone know what type of anchors the Bismarck has. Just been looking at some metal ones on Cornwall Model Boats. Wondering if there is some I can use instead of the plastic ones they supply. ??? ??? ???

Hi Sky,

The anchors look very much like Hall type anchors.
Here are some drawings in respect to Bismarck's anchors

Hope this helps you.

That will help a bit, found some more at the link below. Looks like they are of the Hall anchor type. :)

Looks like the 341.1 Hall Anchor 18mm by graupner is the closest I have found so far in metal anchors to what they supply in plastic for the large anchors.

The supplied plastic anchors are:-
Large ones are 18mm long by 17mm wide.
Small ones are 14mm long by 9mm wide.

Hi Sky

For what its worth, here's my twopence worth

Before you consider the metal anchors, the plastic ones supplied are pretty accurate - and of reasonable quality
They will be painted grey, so metal will not necessarily be any advantage.

To the sites you posted
I had a quick look and make the following suggestions

Aeronaut - no
Amati - no
Caldercraft - no
Graupner - no
Krick - can't see what the front looks like but a possible yes
Mantua 31230 series is the closest

Baz

ps - there are some great photos of the anchors on most Bissie web sites, so you can compare actuals in detail

Mantua 31230 series is the closest - 1 problem it's 10mm too long. :(

31230 Hall Anchor 28mm Type 3
Metal Hall Anchor 28mm Type 3

The bigger of the 2 lots are only 18mm long!!!
