this model was made by me from scratch of the london tug Ionia 56 inches long 12inch beam she has a bow thuster fitted to help the steering nav lights and cat diesel sound generator and its very heavy thats why its not in the water very often I getting to old to lift it in at 73 its a young man boat the hull is fibraglass but it looks so well in the water .

- battleshipbuff🇬🇧Able SeamanHi,I have now purchased Russels superb model,and it really is a beaut! it has now sailed into its new Port, near Falmouth, Cornwall.As was the real tug, it will be renamed "St.Mawes" and painted in the Falmouth Towage colours, to compliment my 2 other Falmouth Tugs,"St.Denys" and "St.Levan" The real tug, has long since been sold, reverted to her former name of "Ionia" again, and now lies rusting away, at Bideford,in Devon, where there is some talk of her being converted into a floating Cafe ! As for the model,I hope to be able to use it regularly, both for static displays,in aid of the RNLI, or indeed, on the water. THANKS Russ, for keeping your faith in me,I am so proud to own it.Like
