To ride, fly, sail, everything is there at MHD!
The ALAI 1/35 tugboat is a superb model of a remote-controlled boat to build, inspired by a real port tugboat built in Bilbao, Spain in the early 1980s.
These compact yet extremely powerful vessels are essential in ports to assist cargo ships and large vessels during mooring or departure maneuvers.
Thanks to their power and excellent maneuverability, port tugboats are particularly popular models in the world of RC model shipbuilding.

This model offers a traditional all-wood construction with planking on frames, a technique known for its realism and strength.
The structural elements are laser-cut, ensuring precise assembly and facilitating the placement of different parts.
The fittings are particularly rich, with many elements reproduced in 3D resin printing, allowing for a very realistic level of detail.
The wheelhouse benefits from a complete interior layout, visible through the laser-cut transparent windows.
The kit also includes LEDs for installing functional lights, offering a very realistic look when the remote-controlled boat is navigating on the water.
With 68.5 cm in length at 1/35 scale, this model can be displayed as a static model or converted into a sailing RC boat.
Once equipped with an electric motor, a speed controller, and a 2-channel radio control, it becomes a true remote-controlled boat capable of navigating with stability and precision.
This kit is an excellent project for enthusiasts looking to build a radio-controlled boat, inspired by a modern and realistic harbor tugboat.
