Another good model: Optatus Berlin OBL-1243 Emma Maersk 14,770 TEU ![]() The only 1250 model of which I am aware of a containership with a capacity greater than 15,000 TEU is Rhenania Jr.'s one (RJ #200) of the Maersk Triple E Class (20 ships total model available with various names). I one of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller (entry into service in 2013, 399x58m 18270 TEU - largest at the time. I obtained one from Wiedling in 2014. There have been a number of other "forward bridge / aft casing" ships modeled, but I do not believe any others greater than 15,000. For instance: CM-KR 363 Cap San Nicolas, 2013, 333x38m (class of 6), 10500 TEU CM-KR 530 Hamburg Express 2012 366x48m (class of 10), 13177 TEU CM-KR 532 Valparaiso Express 2016 (class of 5), 11519 TEU Rhenania 167(B) CMA CGM Alaska, 2011, 366x48m, 12600 TEU Rhenania 167(A) MSC Faustina, 2011, 366x48m, 12562 TEU Nautik Art MSC Savonna (resin model), 2010, 365 x 51m, 14000 TEU As of this writing, Wikipedia lists approximately 100 containerships with capacities of 20000 TEU or more. I think it fair to say this is an underepresented area in 1250 modeling, though they all are very similar in design and appearance, and the material required to model them decently makes them awkard and potentially expensive to the hobby, not to mention the related shelf space and ability to judge demand prior to offering such models. |
