Title: Looking for a tug hull
Post by: Blaven03 on July 19, 2014, 05:46:51 pm

Hi all,

Got varies models but looking for a hull for a modern asd tug at a scale of 1/50, The asd 3111 (preferred) seems to be available as they're are a few kicking about, especially in holland. If any one has any knowledge of how to get my hands on one it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Did Jan Meerbeek stop making hulls?

What about Marks Model Bits ASD Tug Hull at 1;40 scale...
 
You can buy the semi kit or just the hull...
 
It is based on the Damen ASD 2411 tug such as "PETER" (pictured)

Umi, Jans is what caught my eye, I tried emailing him a bit ago without success . I've tried again. If any one know if he's still trading it would be a great help to know as that exactly what I'm after.

Norry, I've seen that and did think but it's purely the scale, my other boats tend to be 1/50 so try to stick to it.

Thanks

A year or so ago Kagelmacher had some serious family emergencies.
He stated he was closing his store, and posted his final date for orders.
I really can't say more on the subject...

It does occur to me though,...
If you want an ASD tug Hull Steinhagen Modeltechnik offers the "Assistenz-Schlepper FENJA "

I have ordered and recieved a hull from Steinhagen within the last month!  :-))

After google translating I think he's opened and got new stock unless I missed somthing. This other sight u mention apparently doesn't deliver to the uk. Some gent emailed me saying he had one of Jans 3111 but hasn't got bk to me since.

Seems like Steinhagen answered inquires as to the fishing trawler hull to the UK.
