Just wondering, what IS the most popular model tug ever built?
You must have built it or owned it yourself complete, not just the kit or plans!.
Mine:
Aqua Onterio
Robbe Happy Hunter
Ripmax Carlton
Seaport Tugs x 3
Springers

For me it was,
TITAN TUG
BUGSIER 3
CERVIA
FOUNDATION FRANKLIN
HMS RESOLVE
-
Ryhope
RMAS Roysterer

-

Imara and Joffre are probably the ones I've seen most often built up at shows and clubs, I've seen quite a few of the Resolve fleet tug too.
Billings' Smit Nederland seems to be a popular and well-known kit, but I haven't actually seen many of them built up (in person, at least - seen quite a few on the web).
-
Hobby Engine (believe previously marketed by Graupner) -- RTR Southampton.
Good fun and lots of modelers have carried out modifications.

Based on what I see on the net, the Smit Nederland and the Amsterdam seem to be well up there. There are two Neddy's and two Amsterdam's in our club . I have one of each.
I wouldn't say they are my favourite tugs, but they do seem popular.

caldercraft ryhope
billings bankert
TF16 US Naval tug ( built on an abco hull)
artesnia amsterdam
half built springer
-
Being a rank amateur I have only built 2 boats, and I would have to say they are both my favourites.
Plaudit (scratch built/clinker hull)
Lady Lou (Freehand scratchbuilt)
I am hoping one day to get close to the quality of workmanship I see among the experienced builders, I have seen so much genuine craftsmanship since I have been a member here.
-
Has noone else done the " Muimota". Superb big boat,
HMS Resolve
Joffre
Absolutely hated HH.
-
Just a noob here but have one scratch built pusher, and a parat.
both very different, first twin steer korts, second as you know twin voith.
We have two Parats and about four pushers in the club but the TID tugs seem the most popular.
Just two steam driven tugs. (pity)

Currently building MSW's Envoy civilian tug.

I think that Metcalf Mouldings new tug, the MT Avenger/Hibernia looks good but I see that the price in the latest Model Boats magazine is £350 + VAT. In previous issues it has been shown as £350 + £10 p&p. Wonder if the VAT is a mistake. :(( {:-{

brakengarth

Sorry, chaps. My mistake. Avenger/Hibernia was shown as £350 + VAT in the February MMI but has always been shown as £350 + £10 p&p in Model Boats. >>:-(
