Just picked this up as a fixer-upper,
Has a sticker on the side Krick Modeltechnik but I can not find it on their website.

Has a kort nozzel wrapped around a 3 blade cleaver race prop

Its deffinalty not a moden day kit. im not sure so i might get shot for this... but i think its a custom build 'free style'

but there are similaritys to it. like Dumas 'city jersey'

 but i think by the look of the hull its based on mountfleet models 'cruiser'

 im probably wrong on both but thats how it looks to me, it may be a kit of the past thats no longer availible, or built from a plan. im sure one of the tug boys here will be able to give you the answer yoru looking for

Its closer to the first pic, the stern on mine has a large rake though?

 Hi Nick.
               looking at the style of the superstructure is definately an american tug.

Whats the length?
If it's around 800 mm it could have started out as a Krick Lucky
Or not!

and what is the hull made of?

Have you tried searching for Krick Schlepper?

the lucky does look similar. However, as others have said. The superstructure does looks scratch built.

This is starting to annoy me now!
I've seen this model before and remember it because of the pronounced ... peak? Visor? shade? over the the wheelhouse
windows and the very deep.... return? casing? bulwark? over the stern.

 i wish I knew about ships 'n stuff!

Was it this one Martin. It's got the pronounced peak over the umm...

Hi.
       wonder if it could be one of the Moran tugs, or maybe one of these as they  all have   the pronounced ... peak? Visor? shade?
        over the the wheelhouse

It's the hull shape that intrigues me.
The superstructure can be changed or modified to personal whim, hulls are usually much more difficult (or bother) to change.

I haven't managed to track that hull down yet but I have stumbled across a good link for all the tuggers out there.
