Hi there
There are some new kit available from PEBA made by kymodel, I saw the prototypes in Germany back in October 2018, and they did look nice and well designed.
I have just received the MOORING TUG I. The first kits come with some extras, like servo and accessories for it also a motor (speed 400 clone) is included and I'm not sure if this is standard or not.
The model will be Length 350mm width 118 mm and scale is 1:32
Instruction is in English and is fairly good based on the origin of the kit.
The hull is in 3D printed plastic and only require a minor clean-up and a rinse with soap and water to remove the dust from the printing.Access to the hull is good and the removable part of the deck is prepared for magnets, which is included in the kit. Mounting points for the motor and servo is already included in the 3D print.There are some printed fittings include and they are of good quality. The few wood details is also of an acceptable quality and will require some light cleaning and a light sanding.
The etched metal fittings look nice and with a fair amount of details. The driveshaft has to be assemble of several parts but looks solid.
The Cabin is a single piece and needs to be assembled with window frames and other details, there are also included some brass wire for the cabin "roll cage" and this is the only part of the kit that will take some work and maybe frustration for a newcomer to the hobby.
All i all I'm looking fwd to start the build.
Regards
Carsten
