1/24 YTB Tugboat Props and Rudder Set (2pcs)

1/24 YTB-Class Propulsion & Steering Set (2pcs): The Power Behind the Harbor

Complete the underwater profile of your harbor assist vessel with the meticulously engineered 1/24 Scale YTB-Class Props and Rudder Set. Modeled after the heavy-duty propulsion systems of the Signet America 91.5-foot tug boat, this set provides the essential finishing touches for a museum-grade display or a high-performance maritime model. At this substantial 1/24 scale, every blade contour and structural detail is rendered with the mechanical density and artistic precision required for a true miniature masterpiece.

Engineering Precision & Operational Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Sub-Surface" Detail: In 1/24 scale, the propeller and rudder are the primary functional landmarks of the stern. This replica captures the Signet America propulsion geometry with exquisite fidelity, featuring accurately pitched blades and a robust, high-maneuverability rudder design. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the massive thrust and steering authority required for modern ship-assist operations.

Precision Integration & Compatibility: Meticulously researched to ensure a seamless, proportional fit for 91.5-foot tug boat hull designs.

• Signet America Compatibility: This propulsion set is designed to be compatible with 1/24 hull for Signet America tug boat 91.5-foot, ensuring a historically accurate and flush fit for the stern assembly.
• Comprehensive 2-Piece Set: Includes one high-detail propeller and one matching rudder for a complete, functional look.
• Intricate Mechanicals: Captures the nuanced features of the original hardware, from the central propeller hub to the structural reinforcements of the rudder blade.
• Hollowed-Out Engineering: This intelligent design helps save material while maintaining exquisite detail—resulting in a lightweight component that won't compromise the balance of your model.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your tugboat’s steering and propulsion showcase the finest industrial textures, these components are printed in High Detail Resin Grey, offering the ultimate surface for discerning modelers:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin captures minute details—from the sharp trailing edges of the propeller blades to the recessed hardware on the rudder—with surgical precision.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides a non-porous, ultra-smooth base that drastically reduces preparation time, allowing you to move straight to specialized Bronze, Anti-Fouling Red, or Signet Maritime palettes.
• Superior Hardness & Stability: Engineered for toughness, protecting the delicate blade tips during assembly or active display while maintaining perfect geometric alignment.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/24 Scale: Precision-scaled for a historically proportional presence on 1/24 scale maritime models.
• Museum-Quality Realism: Faithfully replicates the intricate design of the propulsion and steering systems vital for YTB tugboats.
• Unpainted Finish: Provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Recreate the pristine look of a new shipyard delivery or the barnacle-etched, weathered appearance of an active harbor workhorse.
• Luxurious Finishing Touch: Crafted to add the perfect artistic detail to your high-end miniature masterpiece.

A Canvas for Maritime Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw grey resin finish, the YTB Props and Rudder Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced weathering:

• The "Active Service" Look: Apply a base of metallic bronze for the prop and anti-fouling paint for the rudder. The smooth resin surface is ideal for depicting unique wear patterns—from salt-corrosion and "polishing" on the blade edges to subtle algae-growth and mineral deposits.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/24 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Apply light oil-washes to define the hub assembly and add localized "pitting" effects to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.

The Ideal Addition to Your Collection

This 1/50 YTB Tugboat Props and Rudder Set (2pcs), crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, is an exquisitely detailed and functional addition. It's an essential choice for any model enthusiast looking to bring their 1/50 scale YTB Tugboat model to life and enhance it with unparalleled realism and elegant details.
