having built wooden R/C boats I recommend you use paper plans, ones on the computer are no use unless printed off anyway and for £13 of this one isn't worth it - linky

You've also picked a damn hard finish with all that caulked planking and high shine varnish

to be honest some of the guys building these things take them as seriously as the real things, and seem to spend as much time on them!,

im only building one as ive done to much metal work and im not allowed to build a 1:4 locost - i had that one priced up and i found i couldnt build one that size for £250, so how you can build the real thing!
