Hello there
If your going to consider kits that you can go out and buy right now and don't mind a bit of postage you could try the Kosmo 3 and 4.
Schweighofer do the Kosmo 3 kit for about 99 euro, and even with the postage it would be a good deal. (thinking of getting one myself for a rainy day)

Sussex Model Centre also sell the Kosmo 3 and 4.

The Kosmo 3 is a classic wood construction Pattern Plane and should tick all the boxes.

There are also a fair few "glass and foam kits" available stateside.

Having messed with what the guys in the States describe as "vapourware", past experience tells me to only persue items that are ready to ship,

From what I've seen, the postage from Europe to the States is reasonable.

Regards
Rodders
