1977年10月,美国德克萨斯州的三位模型爱好者制作了一艘美国海军“阿德莫”号轻巡洋舰的模型。从外观上看,这艘模型平淡无奇、甚至有些简陋、粗糙,但它的出现却标志着一项全新航海模型运动的诞生,这就是战舰模型水上作战。此后,这一既刺激又富趣味性的模型运动逐渐普及到加拿大、欧洲各国及澳大利亚,目前世界各地已自发组建大大小小近百个俱乐部,并定期举行比赛。 In October 1977, three model enthusiasts in Texas, USA, produced a model of a U.S. Navy “Admo” light cruiser. From the appearance point of view, this model is insipid and even crude, but its emergence marks the birth of a new nautical model movement, which is the warship model. Since then, this exciting and fun model sports has gradually spread to Canada, European countries and Australia. At present, there are around 100 clubs of all sizes, large and small, and regularly hold competitions.
