Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / December 2003

With all due respect to those wishing to build own models from raw

pre-packaged kitsets from say the very popular Thunder Tiger yacht range,
for example =

latest models are said to be due into warehouse today, with 1M Voyager
priced at US$189 ex GST, The new Victoria Mk2 at US$139 ex GST and the
Odyssey at US$105 ex GST.
