RC Scale Model is a reseller of theirs. They have NY tug, nederland, amsterdam, rotterdam and some others. They are out of corvette and another but i've lost my notes from call I had with them last week. oh, Prinz Eugen too.

i'm sorry but those ready to sink boats look to toy like
to each his own

How do you know

this is the billings nederland
this is the knock off

here is a billings rotterdam

here is the knock off


i'm sorry but for the price they want for these rtr boats, you could build a few boats

Not sure who built the boats for Billings but I'm pretty sure these IMEX boats (Smit Rotterdam and Prinz Eugen to name a couple) carried by RC Scale Model were built by same factory as who built them for Graupner. I do know Graupner only handles quality products. Don't get me wrong, I wish I had the building talent and time some of you have so I could sink $1500 into 4 kits instead of one RTR boat. I might get better at building but I won't have the time it takes until I retire.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that the IMEX model is pre-built RTR. You have to build the Billing model yourself. Therefore, you simply cannot compare the price between the two.
