which tug?
 

I'm looking to build a scale tug. I want a large scale boat that can handle all the toys( radar,lights windlass...) looking at the Mr. Darby, any other ideas? I'm kinda looking bare hull and deck(super structure) and want to run WILD from there!!

Robbe Happy Hunter. $$ but worth it. Robbe kits are very well engineered and very complete too.

I have ordered an Tug from "OcCre" Models through "model Expo". I expect it in the mail any day now. Search the web for it under "OcCre" Models or "Model Expo".
It will take a bunch of time to build, but, it sure looks great. Looking forward to starting mine. it will be a great complement to the Dumas kit i built last year of a Mahogany speed boat.

I have been thinning out the boat, car and plane fleets the last couple of months. Already sold one Darby and have one left. This Darby sustained some damage to the wheelhouse and mast during shipping. I was going to fix it before selling it, but would rather sell it to someone that likes to do the building (I don't). I have the templates for the broken wheelhouse pieces so you can trace them onto wood and cut them out. I also have the full set of plans for the Darby. None of the fittings have been put on the deck, but I have them all. The deck is free and clear to do anything you want to do to it. I will build and ship it in a crate to avoid any further damage.
