| SWAB - I'll try. I am not very good at taking photos whilst trying to sail my models. and in these strange times I can't pass either my Tx or camera to someone else. In any case I am not sure when I will be sailing - again for the same reason. Our club is still operating, but I haven't been for quite a while.

| While building this model I suspected that the mouldings for the two halves of the hull were not identical. Having just made the stand I have the proof. I'm not sure if you can see from this photo, but there is a considerable difference between the two sides.

| The final photographs ![Dumas US Army 74' Tug - Page 2 Dscn1846](https://i.servimg.com/u/f89/17/07/25/93/dscn1846.jpg) Just needs ballasting but my test tank is bust so it will have to wait. A nice model but crappy materials spoil the build experience ![Rolling Eyes](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) - I don't think I'll try another Dumas kit .... but you never know Barrie | |

| Thanks David - yes I usually avoid the grey ones, but I really like the shape of these American tugs. Not sure about another. I have no ideas at the moment apart from a bid on ebay. I'll know tomorrow if I've won. Otherwise it may be some time. I did have another go at the 'Sun tug look alike' I started before this one, but its no go.
