Billings Boats Santa Maria for a Beginner


Osmosis

Recommended Posts

I found a Billings Boats Santa Maria kit for sale locally on C-List and was wondering if it was a decent kit to tackle as a beginner. I have heard that it is not the most accurate or detailed version available. But would it be a good learning experience and wind up being a "decent" model in the end. By the way the asking price is $60.00.

 

Thanks

Old billing kits come in 2 parts. Be sure to buy a complete kit.
