hi there
i am new to the forum and this is my first post.
my current project is a scratchbuilt 1/32 pt boat which is coming on nicely.this is my first project r/c boat and i have very little experience. It is currently recieving its first coats of primer and i am also in the middle of making the fittings, i have made the torpedos and the 40mm bofors gun already , currently constucting the rocket launchers and the main mast.
anyway to this post , i am thinking of purchasing the precident perkasa kit as i have found the scratchbuilding a bit of a pain so fancy something thats half way there if you get my drift. however i have been told that the kit leaves you with quite a bit of work to do and that there is a lot to add to the kit to complete as in fittings and shafts/rudders etc.
can anyone shed some light on the actual ammount of work to be done and things that need to be purchased seperately (apart from electrics etc)
i am going to use electric power going down the triple motor route for authenticity and i also would preferr the wooden hull to the grp hull.
regards
mark
