Bugsier 2 and 3 by the well-known designer Till Schade offer a high level of attention to detail and at the same time a manageable number of parts. If you want, you can build the interior of the bridge on both tugs. The underwater hull and an attractive stand are also included for both models in the model kit.

The two tugs differ only slightly, but the small differences are of course taken into account in our model kit. The construction is great fun and at the end there is a beautiful duet, which looks great in both the diorama and the display case.

The two tugs Bugsier 2 and 3 were commissioned by the Bugsier shipping company in Hamburg and put into service in 2006. They are classified as combined harbor and sea tugs. There is enough equipment on board to be able to carry out towing tasks at any time, even on the high seas.

After the Bugsier shipping company was taken over by Fairplay Towage, both tugs have now been painted blue. However, our model shows them both in the original, typical Bugsier color scheme.

HMV Lasercut Sets are especially designed for a particular HMV model as an additional but optional detail set. The laser cut parts replace parts of the original kit with more filigree and already cut out versions. Sometimes additional parts are included as well. Building your model with a Lasercut Set is easier and more detailed at the same time. But the Lasercut Set is not necessarily needed to build the model.

The material we use is high quality and already coloured paper. Thus it is not necessary to paint the laser cut parts. We recommend though to colour white parts before using them, as during the laser process burn marks might occur.
