geoff Posted December 10, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) welcome Don to this great site.I find Caldercraft/ JoTiKa pretty good, but none are really perfect. All the best, Geoff Edited December 10, 2015 by geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted December 10, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Hi Don Read through the thread below. It will give you some guidance as to the best kit brands for beginners as suggested by members of the forum. Remember that clear PLANS are probably more important than written instructions. Any confusion you may have can usually be cleared up by asking for help from this great forum http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12105-poor-instructions/?hl=%20best%20%20instructions Edited December 10, 2015 by hornet jazzchip, mtaylor, grsjax and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtdoramike Posted December 10, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 10, 2015 The absolute best that I have found have been the Model Shipways plans for their models. A good starter model would be the Bluenose. It has a fairly easy hull to plank. mike grsjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Van Es Posted December 15, 2015 Share #5 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) The nice thing about Model Shipways kits is that you can go to http://www.modelexpo-online.com/ and you can actually download and review the instructions before you buy most kits. After you click on a kit under the picture there is usually a tab called "Documents". There you will usually find the Parts List and Instruction Manual.
