I wouldn't buy another billings boats kit, even if it was my last option! kit parts were of a low quality and after sales service was disgusting, it took them 4 months to send me my missing parts, then another 4 E-mails and month to send the right ones! Blink

Don't be put off by my experience, you may be luckier than me and get a great kit!

have to agree billings kits are not the best and they assume you have done lots of riging as the instructions are very poor in this area
Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
