I've always wanted to make a mini/micro rc boat. So far my builds have been limited by 'standard rc equipment and suitable kits.
Accidentally I stumped over the Peba kits available on the German hobby-lobby site. I actually bought two kits: the Mooring tug I in 1:32 and the harbour tug Fiede in 1:50.

By mistake I transferred 1 € to much. Hence this the package included a handwritten note concerning the extra euro and a 1 € coin. Both kits include 3D printed hulls in very good quality. The kits include 'everything' except paint, glue and rc equipment. The only disappointment was the motor supplied with the Fiede kit. The motor is a standard no-name 130 sized motor where as the motor in the mooring tug kit seems to be of good quality.]http://www.hobby-lobby-modellbau.com/onlineshop/product_info.php/info/p6325_Tug-FIEDE---1-50---Kit---38-90355.html[/url]
