It's time to weigh anchor and sail full speed ahead toward new discoveries with Ugears' naval model, the Research Vessel.

Inspired by classic scientific documentaries and biographies of exceptional maritime explorers, the Research Vessel is the embodiment of the power and beauty of a great, modern icebreaker and a research vessel.

Your new ship has everything you need for proper research:

• Deep hull for exploring deep waters
• Small boat with engine and rescue boat
• Launch ramp
• Cargo hatch
• Cargo crane

All the details of the Research Vessel are made from high-quality wood, which is environmentally friendly and requires no glue or additional tools for assembly.

The design of the vessel's "skeleton" allows you to see into the hatch and the engine compartment, enabling you to observe its operation. The energy that drives the model is generated by a rubber band engine and operates on a pendulum.

The clever arrangement of gears mimics the sound of a diesel engine and provides smooth and steady movement to the vessel. The model has three movement functions – forward, backward, and automatic maneuvers, which are controlled with a hand switch.
