A tail of two TID Tugs

I am calling this a rebuild as you will see later.
Back in the early 90s I was at one of the Greenwich model boat shows, one of the Stands there was Marine Modeling International, were they had there plans at show prices, that was when I got a set for a 1/24 scale T.I.D.


Move unto 2012 when I picked up a copy on Marine Modeling just because it had an article on the T.I.D. fast forward to 2019 and Sarik had a wood pack for the TID at half price.


I started to build the hull from the wood pack, again I lost interest and put it onto the shelf, then about 18 months ago I got my hands on a working TID which had been build as per the 2012 article.
Now the rebuild starts alongside my 2019 build.

Having a long hard look at the wheelhouse, and some talk with chat-gb that AI thing, it looks as if the wheelhouse was open in WW2, so that is how I am going to rebuild the wheelhouse, also the AI think has given me a chart of Portsmouth harbor from WW2. photos to follow
