BUGSIER 3 SCALE RC HARBOR TUG

Bugsier 3 Scale RC Harbor Tug

BUGSlER 3 was one of the first harbor tugs to be operated by the Bugsier-Reederei & Bergungs-Aktiengesellschaft of Hamburg. It is a highly maneuverable ship, equipped with a powerful engine. It has been designed for towing and warping other ships. Compared with today's more stream-lined tugboats, BUGSIER 3 looks rather conventional. Its two big masts and the rather angular shape of the superstructure give the boat a personal and functional, yet particularly attractive touch of its own.

The model of the harbor tug BUGSIER 3 has been scaled down to 1:33 from original drawings. Its design wilI meet the requirements of even the most demanding modeller. Difficult-to-fashion parts, such as hull, bulwark, funnel, Iife-boat, rudder shells etc. are supplied in the kit as extruded parts.

A lot of effort has been put into the careful reproduction of such items as capstan, salvage and warping winch, tow hook and other miscellaneous parts. These injection moulded parts, contained in the set of fittings (order No. 348), simplify the assembly and cut building time drastically. The wood parts and stern parts fashioned from ABS plastic come preshaped. All this helps the modeler buiId a great looking model with a minimum of skill. Thanks to its correctly matched E-motor the model attains remarkable perfermance.
