This kit with six portside dock cranes belongs to the series HMV port facility and fits especially with the Loading Dock and Corner Module. But they could also be used with the Quayside Warehouse. These cranes could be found all over the harbor. Built in the 50ies this crane type was in use for some decades and even today you can find a couple of these cranes in Hamburg's harbor. But especially friends of ships of the 50ies, 60ies and 70ies will build thier diroamas with this model.

HMV Lasercut Sets are especially designed for a particular HMV model as an additional but optional detail set. The laser cut parts replace parts of the original kit with more filigree and already cut out versions. Sometimes additional parts are included as well. Building your model with a Lasercut Set is easier and more detailed at the same time. But the Lasercut Set is not necessarily needed to build the model.

The material we use is high quality and already coloured paper. Thus it is not necessary to paint the laser cut parts. We recommend though to colour white parts before using them, as during the laser process burn marks might occur.
