There are a few modelers on RCGroups.com who are modifiing Lindberg, Revell, Tamiya, and even Toys. Check in the Scle Boat forum.

I've converted a Revell Flower corvette to RC, quite easy, just make sure you get your entrance points big enough.... :big_grin:

Here is a great website to do just that with the venerable Lindberg Diesel Tug kit:

This is a great first step into the world of R/C scale model ships.
