I have now started to build this Mountfleet (Model Slipway) Kit.
Firstly I decided to sort out the power system. 2 x RE540/1 geared motors (6:1). The propshafts supplied with the kit and the 4 blade brass props, also supplied.

The Al Khubar 2 hull is painted Red.
Does anyone know the actual shade of red?
Below the waterline I assume it is red oxide. Is this correct?
Thanks in anticipation Guys.

Now started on the Superstructure.
Slowly does it as want to get this right.

The superstructure build is progressing nicely and I’ve managed to paint the hull.
Pleased with the progress so far.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to source a dark green paint for the deck of my Al Khubar 2 tug. At the stage I am at the moment spraying is not an option therefore it will have to be tin and a brush. Any advice would be appreciated. I am located in the UK so this should be a consideration.
Thank you. Rockbag

I haven’t posted for a while but have been carrying on with my build.
Does anyone know what the light set up is on the Al Khubar harbour tug.
I have the port and starboard navigation lights and the search light sorted.
Cheers Ian (Rockbag)

Hi Guys,
Not posted for a while, health problems.
Still working on the superstructure sorting lights etc. hopefully getting a working radar unit.

Not quite a Christmas tree but close.

Hi Guys,
I have installed the name Al Khubar 2 in all the required positions.
With the decals there is also a decal with the name Sharjah but I don’t know where this should go on the Tug. Anyone know where this decal is supposed to go?
