Hi, I was wondering if a few members could recommend one or two models for my first time RC build I have built Airfix models but that was a few years ago.

I like the look of the Slipway Shamrock or the Robbe Paula III

A few more options would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello KLZ

I would recommend you make whatever you fancy and if you need advice, just ask!

Joining the local modelboat club is always a good idea

Shamrock would be a good choice as it is aimed at people like yourself and is an attractive model with good performance. Model Slipway are known for their high quality products and excellent backup service so you should not encounter any problems.
