I’ve built a couple of r/c planes It’s the building I like – my son does the flying!. I’d like to try a boat kit and I’ve looked at a couple of model slipway kits which look like they give a nice finished product that will handle well. It’s just that they’re all plastic and I ‘ve always built in wood.
I’ve looked at some Billings kits like the Boulogne Etaples Stern Trawler Pt 534 which looks OK.
So some questions… Are these reasonable first-time kits or am I kidding myself here? Are the instructions OK? Do they build a reasonably good-performing boat? Are there other kits/makes worth considering?
Many thanks
