George Turner does some small R/C models. A member of the Southwater Dabblers has built a few Revell/Airfix kits and made them R/C, he will be at Brighton Modelworld with them this weekend.
Hope this helps

Hi Roy,
I would agree with Alan. Have a look at George Turner site
http://www.georgeturnermodels.com/index.php?page=shopping&shop_cat_id=2
He has 5 differnet kinds of 'MTB'. Plastic hull and deck, resin fittings. I have the Vosper MTB - along the lines of plastic kit for assembly but easier. Detail good and reasonably robust. Using the running gear recommended its impressive on the water.
If you get any problems George is a gent.
To sum up I would say its was a pleasure to build and a joy on the water.
Regards
longshanks
