This looks great! Ive always liked these boats.
Does anyone know where to obtain plans for scratch building them?
Maybe not quite plans for scratch building, but as I myself always have been inspired by these deap sea salvage tugs
I was most excited when I found the GA plan for download of the Dutch Kustwacht emergency tug vessel WAKER ex SMIT SINGAPORE on a website of the Kustwacht,
so that I reconstructed a hull model from this plan with the hull lofting program DELFTship (DS).
I posted the result in my thread
here and later packaged it into a single archive together with the GA plan and my DS model of WAKER's ETV successor IEVOLI BLACK,
and made it available for download from
here.
Though my digital models are merely approximations and by no means authoritative they might aid in scratch building a model hull.
A prefabricated GRP hull of SMIT LONDON in 1:50 is also available from
Steinhagen Modelltechnik.
But note, that my DS models have nothing in common with this hull and the available plans set from the IG Lloyd because I hadn't used that source when finding the lines.
