Test shot of new Woban Class Tug

Post by Harry @ BFM »

Hi All,

Here is a test shot photo of the new Woban Class tugboat from Alliance Modelworks.
She will be available in both waterline and full hull in both 1/700 & 1/350
Both kits should be available late Febuary.

The test build is 1/700 . The 1/350 version will be much more detailed. I will post a photo after she is built.
Both kits will have a dedicated PE fret.

Sorry I did not make this clear.

Both the 1/700 & 1/350 kits will be able to be built either waterline or full hull.

All tugs are sorta alike, but ours was based on the woban class district harbor tug.

Here's a front shot of the 700. It will come with those car tires, PE wires to tie them down, and the lifeboat with cover is of course a separate piece.
Image

Other than that, the ship come in 3 chunks of resin. Hull and bottom are separate, and top is one piece.

Since it's the whole ship, it does come with rudder and skewer. The rudder on this picture wasn't fully assembled, missing the reinforcement stripes.
Image

There are some revisions to the PE designs. Upper deck railing comes in several arrangement options, and there are also handrailed ladders optional for front and back.
The portholes and doors are marked out on resin, but should really be replaced with provided PE ones.

The reason for doing these tugs with a bottom is so they can be lifted out of water, placed on peers or hoisted up by cranes, quite a few ways to use them in a 1:700 diorama actually :)
