I haven’t posted for a while but have been carrying on with my build.
Does anyone know what the light set up is on the Al Khubar harbour tug.
I have the port and starboard navigation lights and the search light sorted.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to source a dark green paint for the deck of my Al Khubar 2 tug. At the stage I am at the moment spraying is not an option therefore it will have to be tin and a brush. Any advice would be appreciated. I am located in the UK so this should be a consideration.
Thank you. Rockbag

The Al Khubar 2 hull is painted Red.
Does anyone know the actual shade of red?
Below the waterline I assume it is red oxide. Is this correct?
Thanks in anticipation Guys.

Hi Fred,
I finished building a Clyde Puffer a while ago and I power the motor with a 3cell 7.4 Lipo. This works very well. The speed controller needs to be compatible with the lipo which also provides power to the receiver.

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.
