welcome Don to this great site.I find Caldercraft/ JoTiKa pretty good, but none are really perfect. All the best, Geoff

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

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.

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.
