When I saw tugboat models made by Barry (Mighty Mite) and Careloo (Ulysses), I also wanted to build an interesting old tugboat. I started looking for a kit and came across a Revell model:
It is as old as the World model. Not the best quality but I could not find any other old plastic tugboat. I started with the hull. First I glued two pieces of plastic to the bottom of the hull which I then drilled and tapped. The holes will be used to fix the model to the base with threaded rods. The next step was to remove any unnecessary elements that the manufacturer placed on the hull and the deck. I will have to reconstruct them on my own. The pictures show what has been done so far.
I hope it is a good start...
