Takom 6011 Type 192 & 192A Harbour Tugboat 1/350 – plastic model kit

The Takom 6011 Type 192 & 192A Harbour Tugboat model in 1/350 scale is a unique set for modelers and naval history enthusiasts. The kit includes two variants of the German Type 192 harbour tugs – the Type 192 and its improved version, Type 192A, which were widely used in German seaports. These compact, yet extremely important vessels assisted with the operations of large warships and civilian vessels in European ports, especially during World War II and the post-war fleet reconstruction in the 1940s and 1950s.

Historical background: Type 192 tugs were the basic logistical support for the Kriegsmarine. They were used to maneuver battleships, cruisers, and merchant ships in restricted harbour waters. These tugs can be seen in archival photos from ports such as Hamburg, Wilhelmshaven, and Bremerhaven.

The kit works great as a standalone project or as part of a larger collection. The level of detail and the option to choose between two versions offer many hours of engaging and satisfying work.
