Model boat kit

Sanson Tugboat

Kit by Artesania Latina

Sanson is modelled on a deep sea tug of the 1940s.

The 2023 edition of this 1:50 kit is built on a false keel and hollowed frames so it can be finished as a static model or fitted out for radio control. Materials include laser cut plywood, birch strips and oak veneer, with one photo etched sheet, die cast parts and a display base.
