ColonelKrypton Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Nicely done rendition of an old Revell Tugboat kit ( the original boxing goes back to the 1970's ) in that odd scale. cheers, Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eer no inside the funnel is inscribed copyright 1955 Even older than I remember. 1/108 scale is probably a result of being "box scale" as other kits where of that period. It is indeed a nice little kit. I was eyeing one up at the local hobby store just last week and it almost followed me home. cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Really lovely model from that old Revell Tugboat kit. Weathering looks very realistic up to the wheelhouse deck but seems to stop there. Is there a bit more weathering to be done on this model on the wheelhouse and funnel? The kit dates back to the 50's and was originally named 'Long Beach' but has some renamed re releases since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-boat 55 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Thays a great build, I'm knocking one of these up for my daughter, if I'd realised it could be turned into such a great model I'd not have been as quick to say she could have it for the bath!
