1/350th Scale Director Class Paddle Tug
1/350th scale resin kit of the 1950's Royal Navy heavy ocean going paddle tug. These vessels were designed to manoeuvre the new large carriers the Royal Navy built following WWII. They needed to be able to operate underneath the large deck overhangs, so needed a low profile, whilst having the power to pull such vessels. Their twin paddles allowed them a high degree of control, akin to a tank, and they were only retired when tugs arrived requiring fewer crew members. The last one was retired in 1992.
The kit features resin hull with 3d printed parts, etch metal parts and a full illustrated instruction booklet.
