Revell Harbour Tug Boat Plastic Model Kit, 1/108 Scale

When cargo ships arrive at their destination port after thousands of nautical miles, they still have a difficult stretch ahead of them. This is where the harbor tugboats come into play, taking command and pulling the huge ships safely to the dock. The tugboats do not take on cargo, but are used to haul and maneuver large tankers and cargo ships. These small, robust, but very maneuverable vessels have very powerful engines ranging from 250 to several thousand horsepower. Their conning bridges are designed as high superstructures in order to guarantee, in accordance with their task, good all-round visibility for safe guidance through the narrow port area. The stern, bow and sides are usually reinforced and additionally equipped with wickerwork.

Beautifully detailed deck and bridge. Includes movable rudder, three figures and display stand. 84 parts, skill level 3. Includes waterslide decals Illustrated assembly instructions. Skill level: Advanced
