5.0 out of 5 stars oldy but goody
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } As other reviews have stated, this is an old kit. Every piece needs to be shaved and carved and there are some voids that need filled because parts don't always match up. Because of all that, I loved this kit! It was closer to a wooden build rather than a plastic one because each piece needed some carving. Took me days to assemble, rather than the hours required to assemble a Tamiya or better kit. So I would just warn people that this is not an easy kit to have come out looking good. Take time, enjoy it, and the final piece looks great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Model!!!! 😎
Love putting models together, and I LOVED putting this one together. I gave more attention to details on the cabins.
4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for a fun build
This is the first model I've built for years. I haven't built any kind of model for about 20 years or so. I thought it was going to be bigger than it actually is. The dimensions that are shown in the information seem to be corresponding with the box, not the model. The model is maybe 6 inches in length, not the 13 that it states below. This makes it a bit challenging to clean the model parts and sand them down. I've had to build up a couple spots where I took too much off but it's not a big deal, just time consuming.I noticed that the figures have bell-bottoms on. I looked at the bottom of the hull and noticed that the mold was made in the early 70's. They could definitely update it. Some of the pieces also had some pits in them and some pieces missing. Some of the instrucions don't exaclty match up either.Besides that, it is fun so far building it. I'll put up a picture of the finished product when I'm done. Try not to laugh too hard, it's been a very long time since I put a model together. I think I was 9 when I put one together last time. This is a whole new experience for me but a fun one at that.
2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Clearly a used model. Box arrived looking well worn and clumsily taped at both ends. Very disappointing, as this was intended for a Christmas present, but I wouldn't give it in the dilapidated state that it's in.
3.0 out of 5 stars Red plastics, very brittle.
Plastic was red and very brittle, 2 pieces fell apart while just holding them, but also seemed soft when sanding the nubs off and cutting out of mold frames. Very hard to work with. Love Revell models, but this one was a little disappointing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Model of a Harbor tug
I have modeled this kit several times, and have found it to be a very Detailed and accurate kit of a Harbor tug. The Long beach a Tug in California is one of these tugs and the model matches very well to her. The only short falls in the this kit. are the crew could use to be reworked. the figures are nicely detailed but are a little out of scale. and a tug usually has more than three hands on them. The life boat is a nice detailed part but most tugs in the late 40's had a double ended boat. not a boat with a square stern. by the 60's most of these boats were removed to make deck space and only a co2 life raft was carried.In fact working with photos, you can actually model this tug as it was built as per the kit. or add and remove parts to show these tugs at different stages of their careers. on my last model of this tug I removed the after mast, life boat, davits. added a flag staff and modeled her with Moran tug colors on her.Unlike one reviewer claimed. the model is NOT deceiving, and is fact worth every nickle. It is an excellent kit of a harbor tug. and a great addition to any maritime collection. I in fact intend to build another of this kit.
1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Not what I was looking for. I wanted a tugboat of a little better construction. I was not interested in a model.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice old kit of a timeless subject
Nice old kit of a timeless subject, old tugboats. Be aware that the molds for the kit are 60+ years old and show it in lots of flash around and in small parts such as railings, ladders, steps. Also mold lines on many parts. So time must be spent in clean the plastic up and test fitting parts together. With some honest effort it builds up into a very nice model. Also be aware there are no clear parts for the port holes and pilot house windows, was not thought to be needed parts 60 years ago.
Bellissimo modello vintage
