I've been continuing with my quick kitbashes to provide models for my mod, as I need them. At this point, I've reached the Romulan tugs in the books, and these are what I've come up with, using Thu11s' models as source. Please note that all pods are based on the Klingon pods, as per the books.
SparrowHawk-T Light Tactical Transport, Conjectural:
While the Romulans never built this LTT, it was made available in module R9 for players who choose to build them as part of their Campaigns. It's an unbuillt variant, but not marked as "Impossible". The structures in the wings are internal cargo bays. They are collapsible to house and hold 2 pods if necessary, however it is not as efficient as a single pod underneath the ship with these built-in pods in use. This method was made avaialble for cases where non-cargo pods can be transported despite the fact the pods would be disactivated during transport.

FireHawk-T Fleet Tug, Conjectural:
As with the SPT, the FH-T has collapsible cargo bays to carry pods. It is more efficient to carry a single pod under the ship than it is to carry 2 cargo pods with the bays. However, the ship itself sports heavy cruiser armament, and adding a single battle pod, which doesn't affect the movement cost nor turnmode, is definitely a force to reckon with. As a BattleTug (BT), it has 2xPLaF, 3xPLaS as main armaments.
