This is the Orange Hobby YTL-45 ROCN tugboat. It has 240 parts, 60 of which I fabricated myself. The buoy is also by Orange Hobby. I built and photographed this at the end of 2019. Tragically, a couple of days ago, I was reaching behind the model on the shelf, when I pulled my arm back towards me, my sleeve caught on the mast and pulled the model off the shelf. It dropped 5 feet and landed upside down, completely destroying the ship. Gone in a second. Figured I'd post some photos to memorialize a cool project that is no more.

Thanks guys. It was an enjoyable build, so I guess that's what really counts.
