From a scale stand point the picture just doesnt' seem right?The way the "Planked Deck" is installed.


This will be on a R/C tug. 43-1/2” Long and a beam of 9-3/4”. How would this have been done on the real tug?
Left as the plans say to do it.it just doesnt' look "Scale"?

I've 'Googeled' and turned up very little.

She is a WW II "Envoy Class Admiralty Class Tug". But will be as a "Civilian version".I ask here because I hope that some has the knowledge or has been around somthing like this in real life.

Thanks

Well this a picture I found that is in keeping with the time frame!
So it does look like it is raised?

The 'Weeds Growing' kinda add a feeling of neglect?


Jeff

It sure does Jeff. The wood would have been for anti-slip purposes and not structural.

You would have thought that it would have been 'Counter Sunk' to make it sit 'Below' the deck?
Wonder how many sailors stubbed toes on the old tugs?
