HMS CONFIANCE.
Royal Navy Tug.
"HMS CONFIANCE" was built by A.J.Inglis Ltd, Glasgow in 1955 for the Admiralty and gave its name to a class of Ocean going Royal Navy Tugs, powered by four Paxman HAXM diesels through twin shafts gave a speed of 13knots, although twin screw the class only had one rudder.
With the full-size plans supplied with our well detailed hull it is possible to build a very good looking model, at a scale of 1:48 many commercially available fittings can be purchased thus reducing construction time considerably. The model has a large hull for her size and makes a good regatta and heavy weather model, ideal as a first time tug for the beginner.
