Yorkshireman kit 1:48

Two-prop tug. Kit from Model SlipwayBuilt in 1978 by Cochrane Shipbuilders for United Towing of Hull, Yorkshireman and her sister ship Irishman were two of the UK's largest and most powerful tugs. Both were involved in all types of towing work in the North Sea and around the world. Their most famous days were without a doubt during the Falklands War when the Royal Navy took them into service with Salvageman. Their best known exploit was in the attempt to save the container ship Atlantic Conveyor after she had been hit by missiles from the Argentinean Air Force; unfortunately this rescue attempt was not successful.Recommended accessories:42170 Electric motor Decaperm 6 Volt (2 pcs. needed)65002 Bow thruster with motorModel Specification: Scale 1:48Length 34.5" (875 mm)Beam 9.5" (240 mm)Displacement approx: 28 lbs (13 kg) Kit Contents: a detailed glassfibre hull; rudders, fixed Kort nozzles, prop shafts, white metal propellers. 350+ die-cut and printed styrene parts for decks and superstructure.
