Tamiya 31509 1/700 Tug Boat Set - Add Realism to Dockside Dioramas

Scale model builders and diorama hobbyists will find the Tamiya 1/700 Tug Boat Set ideal for populating military harbour layouts. This kit supplies a selection of tugboats and auxiliary small craft that played supporting roles in naval operations, useful for logistic and harbour scene detailing.

Operational Roles and Modelling Interest

The kit contains 23 individual ships spanning 14 distinct types, enabling makers to stage active harbour scenes. Included are small transports, motor launches used for liaison tasks, rescue boats for downed aircrew recovery, and training cutters. That mix brings narrative depth and period accuracy to your display.

Assembly Advice and Display Tips

Parts are moulded with fine detail at 1/700 scale, offering a satisfying build for those comfortable with small components. Painting and careful assembly reward modellers with convincing harbour traffic that integrates easily into larger fleet or shore-based compositions.

Yes, the 1/700 scale matches common naval kits, making it straightforward to place these craft alongside warships, piers, and harbour diorama elements for a cohesive scene.
Fine brushes, a steady hand, thinned acrylics or enamel paints, and a sharp hobby knife are useful. Consider magnification and tweezers for small rigging or fittings.
