Afternoon Gents ~It's time to build a model of a Mooring Tug !
I have wanted to do this one for years, and now finally a kit has been Masterfully produced by a German model manufacturer, Mr. Sievers:

The hull comes with a stuffing tube liner integrated in the hull ( common now in hulls coming from Europe, see the Opduwer build ).

After that, sand smooth the inner walls that will be visible above the deck line ( the nastiest part ) ...
