Artesania Latina 20210 1/50 Tugboat Atlantic
Overview
The Atlantic Tugboat wooden and ABS model kit is a highly detailed 1:50 scale replica of offshore tugboats from the 1970s and 1980s. Designed for strength and stability, the original vessels were built to operate in open seas, towing massive ships such as oil tankers and cruise liners in challenging weather conditions. This impressive kit captures that rugged capability while offering a rewarding and feature-rich modelling experience.
Blending traditional wooden craftsmanship with modern materials, the Atlantic model features a durable ABS hull that is both waterproof and robust. This makes it ideal not only for display but also for conversion into a fully functional R/C model boat, with internal space prepared for installing electronic systems (not included).
Historical Background
Tugboats emerged during the 19th century as mechanical propulsion revolutionised maritime transport. As ships grew larger and more difficult to manoeuvre, tugboats became essential for assisting vessels in ports and open waters. Offshore tugs like the Atlantic were specifically engineered to handle extreme conditions, providing towing power and precise handling far from sheltered harbours.
