Smit Rotterdam/London

Hello there,

Does anybody know where I can obtain a set of drawings for scratchbuilding a model of these tugs? I believe that Smit Singapore and Houston also belong to the same class.

Thanks a lot,
GUIDO.

Hi there,

you can find some plans at a dutch website:
http://www.modelbouwers.nl
Tugboats are here:

I myself bought the plan of the Smit Hunter, that was ok.

S.Rotterdam and S.Singapore are sisters, but S.Houston is a different one.(Although it looks qite similar) Now it is owned by the dutch coastguard and named Waker.

You will find a lot of pictures/information here: http://www.tugspotters.com

By the way, also looking for “Smitwijs Rotterdam….” can be helpful…

Greetings,
Ralf

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for your info, about a month ago I boumped into the same site you´ve recommended, and some others. In one of them I found a set of plans that seem to be well drawn, but at 85Euro the price was too high. Fortunately though a couple of days later I found the plans of the Smit Nederland on Ebay and ordered a copy, so now I´m in the first stages of planning this model.

Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
GUIDO.
