1/700 Tug Boat Collection from Tamiya 31509 for Busy Harbour Vignettes

Diorama builders looking to populate a naval quay will appreciate the variety in the Tamiya 1/700 Tug Boat Set. The assembly-ready models represent the small but essential craft that keep military ports functioning and add life to waterfront displays.

This set focuses on basic hull and superstructure parts; specific decals may not be included. Check the box contents or product notes for marking details before painting.
Yes, the scale and footprint make them compatible with common harbour base materials. Secure fittings with adhesive suited to both plastic and base material for stability.
Use gloss varnish, clear resin waves, or shaped acrylic for wake effects. Slightly angling towing lines and positioning crew figures can boost the sense of activity.
Expect several hours depending on detail level and painting. Breaking the build into batches helps manage the workload and keeps parts consistent.
