Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The harbour tugboat, or, "work-horse of the coast”, tow sgigantic, sea-going vessles safely into harbor. The small, robust, manuverable boats have very powerful engines developing horsepower in the thousands.

Product Description

1:108 scale. When cargo vessels come into harbor, having covered thousands of sea miles, they still have a difficult stretch ahead of them. This is where the Harbor Tug comes into their own, takes over command and tows these gigantic ships safely alongsid

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Model of a Harbor tug, October 30, 2011

I have modeled this kit several times, and have found it to be a very Detailed and accurate kit of a Harbor tug. The Long beach a Tug in California is one of these tugs and the model matches very well to her. The only short falls in the this kit. are the crew could use to be reworked. the figures are nicely detailed but are a little out of scale. and a tug usually has more than three hands on them. The life boat is a nice detailed part but most tugs in the late 40's had a double ended boat. not a boat with a square stern. by the 60's most of these boats were removed to make deck space and only a co2 life raft was carried.
In fact working with photos, you can actually model this tug as it was built as per the kit. or add and remove parts to show these tugs at different stages of their careers. on my last model of this tug I removed the after mast, life boat, davits. added a flag staff and modeled her with Moran tug colors on her.
Unlike one reviewer claimed. the model is NOT deceiving, and is fact worth every nickle. It is an excellent kit of a harbor tug. and a great addition to any maritime collection. I in fact intend to build another of this kit.

The picture of this boat is very deceiving . When you receive it its a BIG box with little thin plastic parts . i had to add plaster of paris into the hull to make it stand up . It probably weighs about 6 ozs when you get it . Not worth the money and very disappointed .piece of junk!
