Title: Clyde tug
Post by: dgp1957 on June 02, 2018, 11:05:29 pm

Hi guys,  looking for a model for a suitable Clyde steam tug, looking at Mobile Marine models steam tugs, however not sure if any of them could be used for a "clyde" tug. Any ideas?

Mountfleet Models Cruiser tug kit or their Empire Ivy / flying Tempest kit both tugs were Clyde tugs.
The Cruiser was built for Steele and Bennie Glasgow, and the Flying tempest was owned by the Glasgow shipping Co.

Cheers, I'll have a look at them, I like the mobile marine models though, like the idea of buying the kit bit by bit.
