An old Revell tugboat.

Still a ways to go.

Cool. I love tug boats. Keep up the good work.

Hi RD

Long time no see
Are you going to use the red/white/black scheme?
It's a rather interesting model, even tough it's a old one
Keep us posted

Skipper

Yup, red and black. Much like everywhere else.

I've been dealing with broken rails since the stock is an old one. I'm trying to fashion them from stretche sprue and wire. I'm also using brass ladders from Billings Boats though they're not showing here yet. As well as extra life - round thingies once I find the appropriate size.This kit is out of scale.

Looks good so far, I loved that kit when I was a kid. Growing up along the Hudson River, I saw them everyday.

Hi RD,

thanks for sharing, anice unusual and interesting project.

Cheers

I'll have to admit, it was kind of cool

Just curious but what sacale was that kit, or at least what scale was listed on the box????

Cheers
Mark

There is no scale mentioned in the box. Only length. My camera is on loan so I got now new pictures yeet of the improvement done.

It's a one peice hull construction BTW so I tried it out on the tub while taking a bath. Needs ballast to make it steady.

Still in drydock. Work is slow. But hell, it's a tugboat anyway. So go slow.

Actually, I had issues with my airbrush.

On my Revell 1971-72 Catalog it says it's 1:108 with 23cm long

Hope this helps

Sorry, my tugboat build ran out of steam. As you can see in the background, I have an attention span problem.

This is still not done. I've yet more rigging to do. Still glossy etc.

I'm not sure if I should scratchbuild the netting that's supposed to be in the bow. The one in the kit is awfull. Besides I broke it.

Hey RD, progress is lookin good to me mate!
Don't worry bout moving on to other builds,
I meself always jump in between builds to keep things fresh...thanks for the updates, keep em coming!
Cheers,

Sharp looking tug. Keep up the great work.
