The Icebreaker Tug ELBEHAFEN 1/50 is a superb model of a remote-controlled boat to build, inspired by a real tug operating at the mouth of the Elbe River in the North Sea.
These specialized vessels are designed to assist cargo ships and merchant vessels while keeping waterways open in winter thanks to their reinforced bow capable of breaking ice.
Robust, powerful, and extremely maneuverable, they are essential in the major ports of northern Europe.

This RC boat model is based on a traditional construction of planked wood on frames, a method recognized in the ship modeling for its realism and strength.
The parts are laser-cut to ensure precise fitting during assembly.
The fittings are particularly well-crafted, with numerous detailed elements made of wood, metal, and 3D resin printing.
The cockpit has a complete interior layout, visible through the laser-cut transparent windows, adding an extra touch of realism.
The kit also includes LEDs for lighting the navigation lights and wheelhouse, allowing for a faithful reproduction of the atmosphere of a remote-controlled working boat maneuvering in a harbor.
With 60.5 cm in length at 1/50 scale, this model can be displayed as a static model or converted into a sailing RC boat.
By installing an electric motor, a remote control, and suitable propulsion components, it becomes a true remote-controlled boat capable of maneuvering on the water with stability and realism.
This kit is an ideal project for enthusiasts looking to build a radio-controlled boat to construct inspired by icebreaking tugboats used in the ports of the North Sea.
