    I originally bought the kit and started to build a Samson II over 30 years ago, but I sold it unfinished when I left the country.
    So, when I returned to model boating a few years after returning to the UK, I snapped this up when I saw it on eBay.
    My timing wasn't the best, as I had to drive from Oxford to Cannock the day after Boxing Day 2018. The model was in fair condition, but had a pair of fairly high kv brushless motors turning racing props - hardly appropriate for a harbour craft!
    I spent a week or two removing the shafts (they were at the wrong angle) and changing the motors for a pair of brushed 385s.
    The model has seen plenty of time on the water, and is still in use.

    Yes, I think the same hull was used for the Samson and the Polar. That's another boat I've always fancied.

    These Billings plastic hulls are so common to many of their models - it looks exactlythe same as my Polar trawler. Is that right?
