I read an old issue of Model Boats where a kit was reviewed of a small 300mm long Tug boat. After a failed attempt at trying to replicate something similar of my own I managed to buy the kit from Warrickshire
I wanted to do this model for two reason. The first being to give me something to do as a break from working on my Smit tug. The second, and this one being the most important one was to give my other half something to use when i take her to the boating lake, it stops me getting nagged and i hope in return it will give her some enjoyment!
Pictured below is what i have so far. I have some bollards, tyres, and other bit's eother on their way or still to get phase. I managed to salvage some photo etch parts from a Schnellboot i was building a little while ago, some nice etched step plates would look good in the right place.
The first obstacle is motor choice? I was thinking something small like a 280 maybe? single coupling, oiler tube and a prop from Prop-Shop.
This isn't going to be a quick build, far too busy at present with work so not much time for either boat for a while but i wanted to pick your brains in the meantime!
