Thank you all for kind remarks! and for watching this thread. It's going to be a long build, as the real tug have very much details and i just want to put these details on the model also.
shıp110 - The scale for the model is 1:45 with overall lenght of 820mm. real ship is 36.80m lenght including the rubber guard around it.
Some technical specs - Power 2X3300 HP
- 2X3.80m diameter props with variable pitch
- bollard pull 107Tons
- maxiumum speed without tow aprox 13.9 nd
daz - For the Kort Nozzles i have used a brass mold made at the lathe respecting the inside wing shape of the original Kort nozzle of the tug. On this mold i have applied fiberglass. First inside, after completly dried i have take it of the brass mold, then outside in the same procedure. I had then two halfs of a nozzle wich i have glued togheter using epoxy. Then primed and sanded. The rudders are made from styrene.
bryan young- what Fray-Bentos is? I didn't understood what you have said.
Best regards
George
