Model Tuna boat Corsair 1:160 - Atlantis

A Tuna Boat Model to Assemble

A Plastic Boat Kit for Modelers

The Tuna Seiner Corsair is a plastic boat model to build offered by Atlantis.

The kit allows you to replicate a fishing tuna boat, with the characteristic look of a working boat intended for offshore fishing.

The model is provided in the form of parts to assemble.

This is a static model, intended for assembly, gluing, and painting.

Glue and paints are not included. A decal sheet is provided to complete the model's decoration.

With its original subject, this fishing boat model appeals to both naval modeling enthusiasts and fans of dioramas and model railroading.

A Small Model at 1:160 Scale

The Atlantis tuna boat is reproduced at a scale of 1:160, corresponding to scale N in model railroading.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 14 cm in length.

This size allows for easy integration into a miniature setting.

You can place the boat at a dock, in a small fishing port, or within a maritime diorama.

It can also complement an N scale railway network featuring a coastal or harbor area.

A Tuna Boat Inspired by Traditional Fishing Boats

The Principle of Purse Seine Tuna Fishing

The model represents a purse seiner tuna boat, also known as a "tuna seiner" in English.

These commercial fishing boats are designed to locate schools of tuna swimming near the surface.

Their main fishing gear is the purse seine net.

This large net forms a kind of curtain around the school of fish before being tightened at its lower part.

This technique allows for the encirclement of a significant amount of fish in a single operation.

Purse seiner tuna boats have played an important role in commercial fishing in various regions of the world.

Their silhouette, deck equipment, and nets are particularly interesting elements to reproduce in naval modeling.

A Working Boat for a Harbor Diorama

Unlike models of cruise ships or military vessels, this small-scale fishing boat model allows for the representation of daily maritime activity.

It can be placed near a dock, fish market, warehouse, or small fishing port.

The model can be associated with buildings, vehicles, figures, and other boats at the same scale to create a detailed and realistic port diorama.
