Hi all
this has probably been asked a thousand times, but some questions are worth repeating. I have never built a model boat (other then plastic) from a kit before. I have built a hull for a yacht from plans, using I believe what they call the planking method. It turned out quite good and I really enjoyed building it. I now want to build a kit for a radio controlled boat. I want a kit 1/25th scale or larger, a working vessel ie tug, trawler or similar. A kit that is fairly basic, but can be added to with fine detail, as I get more experienced. I would prefer it to come with motor, prop and propeller. it will be on display at home, so a good looking, interesting kit is essential. the type of kit I think fits the bill is something like Our Lass trawler kit (though not sure what scale she is). But to be honest this way out of what I have available to spend on a 1st kit + it's more then likely above my present skill level. So a lot simpler vessel would probably fit the bill, but one that could be made as interesting. Price, been a true Yorkshire man, I am tighter then a tight thing when it comes to spending, seriously though, I do not have a fortune to spend, so if I could keep it to as close to double figures as possible that would help. Enough waffling now, I realise I am asking for a lot for very little, hopefully some one can offer some words of wisdom.
cheers
