Mooring Tug „Emilka“

The original


The "Emilka" was the prototype of a series of small tug boats. Today, she is still in use in Gdansk Harbor, and she has several derived military sister ships that were built after this initial design, all with slight improvements (M-12, M-21, M-22 and M-35) and one civilian sister ship that is still in use ("Nogat", originally M-45, also sightly varying from the original design). One further vessel (M-36) saw its use in the Polish coast guard for a while.  The model of the Navy tug M22 is available through Micro Boat Hobby, too. The vessel was set up to carry seven passengers or up to 2.5 tons of cargo. The derived versions later make no more use of the "cage" that the original boat was equipped with.

The model


The model is designed in 1:87 scale. It can be built as a model for static display or as a working RC boat. It is set up to enable radio control functions (RC)  with a single  shaft for propulsion in a movable kort nozzle. As the model is rather small, the model can only be used in  quiet water conditions.  Additional function such as the mast folding or lights can be added by a skilled modeler. However, this model is not set up to be ready to run, it requires refinement and is only suitable for skilled model builders.  

The total model consists of three sets of printed parts: Hull, Superstructure, Details.
