Hello. After 2 years away from modeling, due to life's interruptions, I'm inching my way back to building a large scale PT boat. I have the Italeri PT-596 semi built, but was planning to sell it. Before I do, however, I thought I'd check to see if it's suitable for radio control. I search the forum and had no luck (although I might not be doing it correctly).
Thanks.

Yes, many have converted the boat to RC. You'll find several good threads regarding this on RC Groups & Modelboatmayhem.
