1/700 oceangoing tug ITC Suhaili (1976)

Foremast replaced, new winch added and placed the typical 20' container all S-wind class tugs seem to carry. The container is from the excellent resin container set by BMK.

Oh, so now that I was gone you started working eh! Bad news, I'm back
Good progress, looks nice and crisp!

A small tale of progress and disaster.
Over the past week I've started to add some railings to the superstructure.
The fore mast still need a lot of work.

I've also added the fenders using black trim line tape.

And I decided to re spot the container on the winch deck. The container did move but took the deck with it so the towing winch is now visible again and I'm going to have to rebuild the winch deck, the crane mast and the small winch winch used to be there.

Some small progress. Name tags added and resin container replaced by a PE Container after rebuilding the deck over the winches (grrrr). This container did have the advantage that I could open it's doors. Like it's resin predecessor it was made by BMK.

That's pretty cool. Where did you get the PE containers?

I'm fairly sure those are the PE containers from BJM, which you can get @ Modellmarine/BMK.

They have a couple of different types! I may need to get some of those in 1/350!

The containers are indeed from BJM (not BMK as I wrote earlier). They are easy to work with and I think they look sharper than the resin containers from the same company. Though I'm not going to fold the many hundreds needed for a full cellular container ship... we'll have to wait and see how Revell tackles that .
