SD EILEEN 1/24 harbour tugboat kit

SD EILEEN 1/24 harbour tugboat kit

The SD EILEEN, SD DEBORAH, SD CHRISTINA and SD SUZANNE workboats are produced by the Dutch company DAMEN. They were commissioned between 2010 and 2012 and are used on ROYAL NAVY bases.

The kit includes all parts for the construction of the ship, i.e. the couples, planking strips, deck and superstructure parts, which are precision laser-cut. The kit also includes all deck, superstructure and engine parts (engines not included), which are manufactured using laser-sintered 3D printing.

Like its full-size counterpart, the model is propelled and steered by 2 azimuth thrusters at the stern and a bow thruster at the bow. All included in the kit.
