I have just taken delivery of my next project kit, the Mountfleet (Slipway) Al Kubar harbour tug.
I get a lot of advice from my club but am just fishing around for any comments before I start.
Mainly propulsion, motors, ESC’s and batteries. Any comments from you guys would be appreciated. Rockbag

As my next project I am thinking of building the Mountfleet Model of the Al Khubar Tug.
Do any of you guys know what suitable motors would be required.
I understand that the props required are like schottel drives. Any advice would be appreciated. Ian

I have now completed my Sealight Clyde Puffer model. Just the figures to finish and name on the stern.
I have enjoyed the build and hope that I have done it justice.

I would appreciate any advice or photos to give me some idea how to complete this task.
Cheers in advance,

Much too cold in my garage/workshop plus a visit to my grandson’s in Taunton has meant I have just been installing the rigging.
Not completed it yet but gradually getting there.

The largest container ship isn’t shown in the answers. I reckon it should be MSC Irina

The steam/smoke generator didn’t have a manufacturers make name.
I bought it from Modelboatbits with a remote switch operated via receiver and a spare switch on my transmitter.

Coal bunker added now so I think the superstructure is complete.
Think I will now position the smoke/steam generator beneath the funnel.

The only thing that I can think of that you are referring to are the navigation lights.

Hi, I’m gradually adding more to the build but I am having a little trouble understanding the location of some items in the wheelhouse. Steering and the compass location I’m ok with. I would appreciate any help regarding this. Thanks. Ian
