the above titled tug, what's actully in the kit?, it states a lot of fittings fixed korts GPR hull etc, all sound nice but unlike the other tugs for sale there's no image of the fittings layed out, i have looked through the forum here and seen a few images of the hull and superstructure but nothing else, does someone have a list of all the parts included in the kit, not mentioned on the site, and maybe some photos with it all layed out i would be interested to see what the kit comprises off, my brother is looking at buying it but dose not want to part with close to £300 without some description of all the parts he plans to use this or something similar to aid me in the tug towing competitions and wants to know if the winches are of a good quality etc etc any build logs or parts relating to this particular tug would be appreciated

Hi Prophet
I am busy building the MSC Marlene, unfortunately I haven’t a list of fittings that I got with the Marlene but there are quite a few. As you have said kort nozzles, props shafts, winches bollards. Here are some photos of my build so far.
