Electric remote-controlled boat SMIT NEDERLAND RC 1/33

Model Smit Nederland - Dutch harbor tug to build (Billing Boats)

Discover the Smit Nederland, a powerful Dutch harbor tug faithfully reproduced by Billing Boats in the form of a model to build.

This iconic model from the Smit Internationale B.V. fleet of Rotterdam is known for its robustness, maneuverability, and elegance. It represents a typical working vessel designed for towing and assisting in ports and channels leading to the open sea.

The Smit Nederland is one of the eight tugs built for the famous maritime company Smit Internationale.

Measuring 28.4 meters long by 8.5 meters wide, it is powered by two 1000 HP Stork-Werkspoor diesel engines each, driving triple-bladed controllable pitch propellers of a ducted type.

Its progressive action Becker rudder system gives it exceptional maneuverability, essential for port and coastal operations.

The Billing Boats model of the Smit Nederland is a detailed and realistic reproduction, combining a sturdy and water-resistant ABS molded plastic hull with finely cut wooden deck and superstructures.

The kit includes all the fittings, faithfully reproduced to provide a professional finish: railings, winches, masts, funnels, antennas, cranes, and other deck details.

This model is designed to be navigable, with propulsion provided by two electric motors compatible with a 2-channel RC set (not included).

Versions sold in our store include an exclusive bonus: the two brass propellers and two rudders are provided in the box, for a high-end finish and optimal durability.
