Kit/plans required

[soup]

Looking for a short waterline length kit or (at a pinch) plans (beginner
suitable) of a boat for my son. Had in mind 18" or so waterline,
converted non R/C type, indeed non R/C would probably be preferable but
as this is an R/C group... . Does anyone know of a supplier of said
kits/plans? A local supplier would be preferable : Edinburgh, Scotland.
Already e-mailed Marionville they say there is not much like that about
nowadays.

ASIDE :- For those with a long memory seem to remember a range Keil
Kraft(remember them)had in the mid to late 70s, that included a PT boat
and a cabin cruiser, 12~18" long or so. These had hard chine hulls and
the hull was basically frames with sheet wood over (rather than planks)
these were the type I had in mind.

Let's at least ask someone who's going to give us a slightly more
intelligent opinion. Hello wall, what do you think?

Thanks for that John. However I was looking for something quite a bit
smaller (3" by 12" balsa sheets,small electric motor, 12~18" waterline)
and preferably semi scale to give him a sense of building the real thing.

UPDATE :-
Saw a kit for sale on eBay, there they had a picture of an E-Z-bilt boat
kit this is the type of thing I am talking about. Unfortunately the one
on eBay is attracting bids from collector types, rather than people who
just want to build the model, so for a 16" W/L model the bidding is up
to over £30, so far to expensive for what I want

Mea culpa comma in the wrong place
that should read. " ... £30 so far *,* to expensive ... "
