I received my first GUILLOW's kit when I was about 10 years old (nuff said about age). Anyway, the kit was a FOKKER DVII and I had a helluva time getting it built to look like the image portrayed on the box. Yes, I was frustrated and the finished product was UGLY! However, that didn't stop me from buying more of 'em! I learned a PILE of stuff building these small models. My son has several hanging from his bedroom ceiling and they make great display, scale models. R/C compatible? - maybe electric but I wouldn't recommend it; not cost effective, eh? Summing up, I have very fond memories of these kits and in the correct context, as tony-the-tiger would say, "they're GREAT"!.
