Description
North Light Tug Boat Model Ship Kit
Box contents:
Kit contains all necessary mouldings, printed overlays, CNC cut wood parts, drawings and diagrams for assembly. There are over 200 white metal fittings and it is in their authenticity and feel that the charm of this finished model shows. Awarded a gold medal at the Nuremburg Toy Fair of 1984 it was a first for any British kit manufacturer and a first for any marine model kit from around the world. This kit also fills a corner for the static modeller looking for a cased model that is a little different. Crew member figures are included.
Â
This is a reconstruction scale model of a typical Scottish tug boat, more commonly known as ‘Clyde Puffer’. It was coal fired and used as a vital connection between the west coast of Scotland and the Hebrides Isles. This type of boat has been popularised through the short stories and later a television show by Neil Munro about the Vital Spark and her captain Para Handy.
