Steam Tug Anteo

Anteo tugboat kit in 1:30 scale

A typical tugboat, as found mainly in southern European harbours until the 1970s. This model is characterised by its particularly pleasing shape and is therefore a feast for the eyes as a stationary and driving model. Thanks to the wooden construction, the model can be fitted with a steam engine with just a few modifications. The Alex Horizontal steam engine is the ideal steam motorisation for this model, but an electric drive can also be implemented in many ways.

The hull is constructed with a keel and frames made from laser-cut wooden parts and then planked with mouldings. If Anteo is to be used as a driving model, it is advisable to cover the hull with fibreglass to make it more resistant. The superstructure is also assembled from laser-cut parts. The real wood bridge is a feast for the eyes and the many details on the ship are a joy to assemble. The fittings set is comprehensive and complete with stern tube and shaft. Many of the fittings are made of cast brass and wood and are of the best quality. The entire bulwark is included as an etched brass plate. The individual plates protrude true to the original.

An all-round successful kit with detailed building plans and German building instructions.

The use of the 60 mm four-blade propeller rb174-14 is recommended for operation.
