Revell Harbour Tug

[skinflint]

Revell Harbour Tug 1:108 scale. Decided not to build as the instructions, but to the original 1955 version 'Long Beach' after receiving the box art from an American model making friend. Brush painted with either Revell Aqua Color or Humrol acrylic. Decals had to be printed on the computer using waterslide decal paper bought from ebay.

I like the nostalgia in building it as the older kit Looks good!

That looks great Tony

That is just great fun. I can just visualize that tug bobbing up and down in the harbour or estuary. Used to fish in the Thames and watch the river tugs passing. brings back memories.


Nicely built and very nice attention to detail. Like the fendering detail just finishes it all off.

Thanks for all the replies and positive feedback. It is a lovely little model to construct and paint. Models of this size don't take too much room to display.


Looking forward to the next boat build Revell's new tug Fairplay I/III/X after completion of an Airfix VW Beetle.

I have one of these in my stash, always fancying the idea of making it an RC model to pull my 1/96th sacle warships around.


You've made a lovely job of it there and the paint job gives it a more fitting traditional look about it.

That s a cracker .

That's beautifully built and painted Tony. I'm not an expert but would harbour tugs be so clean and pristine?

[Guest]

Lovely job!


It makes me want to build one!!!


Can I ask if the figures come with the kit?
