Hi Ekoral.
Well done, you finished the model in no time. Excellent and long description. Excellent photo. Does your model weigh (in total including ballast) approximately 7.89 kg? Or in any case just under 8 kg? I would also have liked to see some images of the construction phases. If you have them please post them in this topic. In particular I am interested in the engine propeller transmission and the opening of the bridge to insert the RC devices. Akragas is certainly not an Italian name, in fact it is Greek. It was a city of Magna Graecia in Sicily, in the province of Agrigento. ruins of ancient Greek temples remain. Many Americans go to visit it. ▲

Very nice job๐๐๐
Seemingly accurate. Attached a link to a few more pics from March 1977. Home port Palermo. And one from July 2017 showing her 'under conversion' in Monfalcone, Italy,but looks like the money ran out๐ค Cheers, Doug๐ ▲

Beautifully done, excellent detail. Most tugboats I have observed do not carry the rigging that this vessel has, but you have included it as your research has demonstrated.
I really like your plank on frame construction. You have experienced the shaping and finishing required to make a fine hull. When builders use a preformed fibreglass hull and then call their work scratch built really miss out on the skill of laying the keel, then go through the process of seeing the hull take shape. Thank you for sharing the vessel with us. We look forward to seeing it towing, pushing, and working in your harbour. ▲
