OcCre manual


Conclusion

The Fram kit by OcCre certainly has a lot of good quality material including MDF falsekeel and zinc-based metal parts. The rigging threads galore and sewn sails will certainly please anyone who loves cotton ropes to rig their models. The color photo step-by-step instructions seem very simple to follow, as usual for OcCre's standard manual. Another very nice model kit from OcCre.

I think it is a good kit. What about you? What do you think?

************************************************************************************************************

As I have mentioned earlier, SOS has one Fram kit from OcCre to give away. The are no requirements other than a willingness to build this kit and hopefully show in the build log on SOS (but not necessary). And with a little bit of luck, someone can acquire this kit for free. For the following few weeks, we will collect members who would like to participate in a draw. Once we collect all members, we will take the draw and the program (below) will choose the winner. The winner will have to pay the postage only (no international please). If you have any questions, please PM me.

Please reply to this post saying that you would like to participate in the draw. We officially collecting members starting today 2/11/2025 and will close collection on 2/25/2025 so if you would like to take the chance, please use your time wisely ;) Good luck!!!

This is the program we will use to choose the winner.
