Caldercraft Imara Harbour Tug Kit
The Caldercraft Imara Harbour Tug Kit brings the robust character and practical engineering of classic harbour tugs to the world of model shipbuilding. Imara was a well-known twin-screw tug constructed for use on the East African coast, reflecting the strength and reliability essential for docking and manoeuvring ships in busy ports. This kit captures the spirit of the maritime industry and the satisfaction of detailed, hands-on craftsmanship.
Designed for builders who appreciate both authenticity and creative assembly, the Imara kit provides a comprehensive foundation for a truly rewarding project.
