This vessel is a USCG cable/work boat from Alex Forman based on the type of boat the Coast Guard uses to service lighthouses. It is a kitbash of the Wespe LCM boat and the Kibri Fire boat with various brass, 3D printed, and white metal castings for details. Alex used the crane off the fireboat, the cable reel off a Chinese made lowboy trailer, and a diesel engine from Ertl. The truck is a modified Norscot with the sleeper from an Athearn model, roof from Tonkin, strobes from Roco, and a headache rack from Promotex. Decals are from a variety of sources.
