Polarship ‘Fram’

[Richard HaywardParticipant @richardhayward75373]

Greetings,

 I am trying to find a built model, kit or plans for the Norwegian ship ‘Fram’. She was built in 1893 and used by Amundsen for his expedition to the South Pole. She has her own purpose built museum in Oslo.

 I have been to the museum but the only models they sell are poor quality ones for tourists.

 I am surprised how difficult it is to find any thing in the modelling line for such a famous ship.

I would appreciate any information you might have.

Hi Richard

Is this any help?

Hello Paul,

 Thanks for that –  most interesting and useful. I haven’t got that particular view.

 Did you get it from  a book ?

Hi Richard

Yes it is one of my books on odd boats but I have also found it on the internet, if you look at Google images and type Fram into the search you should come across it.
