Just to say hi as a new member here. I'm just getting back into model ships after many years. In between, I've built a few model cars and a couple real ones from the ground up. Now, it's back to model ships/boats, starting with a Dumas Unlimited hydroplane that I began about 1986 and have found that kit lacking in many ways. I'm still floundering along with it for static display. I just took the plunge and ordered Amati's Fifie along with the radio controls etc. That should be an interestng build since there seems to be a few shortcoming too with that model - but that makes it interesting.
