Full Description
The 2 sheet plan & article is drawn at 1:24 scale and the finished model measures 101cm long and 23cm wide for single screw propulsion and planked hull. The model is built out of wood and a Sarik wood pack is available to assist the more tedious parts of construction like cutting the frames. Tugs are always popular models and this plan will be of interest to many. To help with the construction, the Laser Cut Wood Pack, which includes the frames, deck and wheelhouses.
The laser cut wood parts available for this model will enable the builder to construct the main hull easily and quickly although experience would be required for the planking of the hull (the materials for planking are not included in the Laser Cut Wood Pack. Likewise the detailed fittings and plastic parts for the superstructure are not included). It was found useful to cut a number of 25 mm x 25 mm triangles of 12 mm balsa for assembly of the superstructure (again not included in the Laser Cut Wood Pack).
