Vliestroom and her sister ships MV Nieuwe Diep and Schuitengaat were built by Damen Shipyards in 1987-90 for the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Waterways. The folding main mast and cantilevering radar masts together with the low draught flat-bottomed hull allow for a very versatile craft, which can encounter low bridges and shallow waters in and around Holland. This unusual and distinctive model is based on Vliestroom, built in 1987, operating out of Hellevoetsluis.

Kit Contents: The kit contains the usual high quality glassfibre hull, with running gear including brass propellers. A bow thruster tube. All styrene plastic parts for the deck and detailed superstructure interior. Also included are the cranes, resin-cast dinghy, vacuum-formed buoys, etched brass components for the fine details, brass handrail stanchions, cast metal fittings, decals, wire, rod etc. to build the model as illustrated (flag is not provided). Step-by-step assembly drawings make this model an enjoyable and relaxing project for model makers with average building skills. The large deck crane which elevates and swivels will without a doubt be a challenge for the more experienced model maker wishing to radio control it. (Paints, adhesives and tools to complete are not provided).
