DUMAS The New Jersey City 914mm RC Tugboat Building Kit

Overview

The DUMAS The New Jersey City (4SP1248) is a detailed 914 mm RC river tugboat building kit, based on the railroad tugboats that operated on the Hudson River around New Jersey and New York in the 1960s and 1970s. The kit combines a vacuum-formed plastic hull with pre-cut and laser-cut plywood and micro-foam PVC parts, wooden details, and an extensive collection of scale fittings. The New Jersey City can be built as a fully functional RC tugboat or as a detailed static scale model. An impressive building project for experienced model builders and enthusiasts of classic American tugboats.
